<p>thank you everybody ! really thanks a lot ! you all revived my film photography passion !<br> I will get some good film rolls and i'll find best lab in town for processing.<br> Also i will try to better understand and control all the variables. I will let you all know the results.<br> I'll also consider buying a DSLR, probably canon 550d.<br> Stay Blessed</p>

<p>Ok. So this is the lab guy's fault (sigh).<br /> I have 4x LR44 bettery pack and i read somewhere that it could cause faster shutter speed because it has total of 6V but only 5.6V is required ! could it cause any problem ?<br /> Viewfinder is a little blue. The service guy told me that it is the coating in viewfinder glass. Also focusing thing is little tough. Thanks for the tips.<br /> I live in Pakistan and finding good film roll is difficult and B/W does not exist here. And hence good labs are non-existent. So i will have to import film rolls and search for processing chemicals and apparatus for home processing.<br /> Another thing, when i was shooting with yashica, there was a ring, foremost on lens called exposure ring saying "B", "auto" and a flash sign. I don't know how to use it and i changed it several times during shooting(which probably caused the underexposure).<br /> Also at some places i read that iso dial should be set same as film used but at some places it said that iso dial should be as twice as film roll e.g fujifilm 200 should be used with iso setting 400.<br /> And i don't know about metering like @wouter said "a centre-weighted or spot metering", i am unable to find info on that !<br /> Excuse my miserable English. I appreciate your help guys !</p>

<p>No, i didn't record any settings.<br /> Yes, this is my first time with both manual and film camera and i don't know how light is metered. I will look into that asap.<br /> Yes these are scanned prints and i will try to scan negatives.<br /> What about the spots on photos ? like this one.</p><div></div>

different apertures. fist one was about 2 and second and third were 5.6-16. I don't remember much. yashica has a built in meter and lights for under and over exposed and all these photos were clicked when no light was on. there are also other photos in the same flickr link.

<p>HELLO everybody. I bought a yashica electro 35 gsn 3 months ago which was in mint condition but not used for several years. I got it serviced and put a test roll of FUJIFILM 200 proplus 2. I carefully controlled exposure, f-stop and focus but the result i got after processing it were miserable. This is my first time on a manual camera and film photography and i am so frustrated about this. the guy who processed the film told me that my camera has weak lens. I don't know what this means. I so wanna do film photography but i am so frustrated. Please help. here are some photos i scanned.<br />
