Camera Porn - Yashica Mat-124G
Here is another shot from my camera porn series...my wonderful Yashica Mat-124G. In this image, you can see the built in light meter on the top of the camera. It is comprised of three main components in this image. The sensor located on the top front, and the ASA dial and matching needle display located top center. Thanks to the availability of zinc-air batteries, the light meter that was originally designed to use mercury batteries, has many years of service left.
The twin Yashinon 80mm lenses are clearly visible. Mounted on the taking lens is a B&W 090 light red filter in a Bayonet 1 mount. I use this filter quite frequently when shooting black and white film to darken the sky and have the clouds stand out in the shot.
