Yashica TL Electro X

 

Just beautiful, Dave, a great presentation and what pristine order the camera is in. I first caught the collecting bug with Prakticas and Yashicas, and the TL Electro is still one of my favourites. Your pics demonstrate the quality of that fine lens.

Thanks, Rick. Both are definitely keepers. Neither looked in this condition when I got them--there was a layer of what looked like tarnish on the camera, which turned out to be from cigarettes (photog before me must have lived with a Marlboro in his hand). The restoration work was worthwhile, though.

Erko, great snag on the 124G. Like Bill I have the Mat and I've also had it serviced for the reason stated. I've had mine many many years. Circa 1984 or so for 80,00 USD. They threw in a case which fits the C or D .. I already had the D.. I wanted a metered MF model. I noted that Bill has a hood.. the Yashinon IMHO is a flare magnet. I now use the Bay I hood from the D. @dave.. a beautiful Yashica TL and lens.. bring on the PORN. JD used to insist on this with every post.

I'll add some more, these from a roll of Kentmere 100 processed in HC110 dilution H. Camera was Konica Auto S1.6. Some of the images in sunlight utilized a 70's vintage Yashica O2 (orange filter). Slightly darker than the deep yellow that I often use. The O2 is about the strongest I can use with a CDS metered camera before I need to add an extra half to three quarters stop, for example a #25 red.

Exploring limits of close focus and DOF, just inside minimum focus at around f 4 or so

A few from a morning bike ride. The Konica Auto S1.6 and Auto S2 are light enough to carry even on long rides.

Part of the former path of the railroad now has a sidewalk. Kentmere film showing its contrast in this shot.

Nikon FE2, Zoom-Nikkor 35-70mm 1:3.5 Fomapan 400, Rodinal 1+50. I think Fomadol LQN developer gives much better result, tha grain is really disturbing with Rodinal.

I managed to put a film through the Pentacon Pentina between the departure of one southerly front from the Antarctic and the arrival of another, and here are some of the results. The Tessar lens is probably the best feature of this camera... For those members unacquainted with the Pentina, there's a pic over on the "What camera are you using this weekend?" thread, and a more comprehensive description here:

 

Some Praise for the Pentina

 

The film was the first cut from a new roll of Arista EDU Ultra 100, developed in PMK Pyro and scanned on an Epson V700 using Silverfast SE software.
