Shooting a test roll with a Yashica Electro 35GS after calibrating the rangefinder which was way off.
The Yashica Atoron is a subminiature camera that takes «Minox film» cassettes for 9.2mm film. The shutter goes from 1/250 sec to 1/45 sec (+ bulb) and is interlocked with the aperture range when choosing EV on the exposure wheel. The lens is a fix focused Yashinon f2.8/18mm with a slide-over yellow filter. The film advance and shutter cocking is done with a unconventional pull-out lever. The shutter sound is also rather unique: «Pfiiiiiii!»
A little while back I had posted a few shots taken with this Yashica-Mat, which was gifted to me by a very good long-time friend (it had belonged to his father). I mentioned I was sending it out to be overhauled, as the shutter was not working well, and cosmetically it had issues. I sent it to Mark Hama to be refurbished. It's back, and he did a great job on it! He not only fixed the shutter and cleaned the optics, but he replaced the old mirror and also replaced the old dried and peeling leatherette covering. There's nothing quite like a vintage classic that has been fully restored to its original glory! Thanks, Mark!!

Cette caméra Yashica-D est ma nouvelle acquisition dans ma collection. J'ai bien hâte de me familiariser avec celle-ci. Prendre mes deux premières photos photos s'est avéré toute une entreprise pour obtenir le cadrage que je souhaitais puisque tout se déplace à l'envers dans le "viseurs". Mais comme le dit le vieille adage, c'est en forgeant qu'on devient forgeron ! Cette photo a été prise avec ma Helios 44-2 que j'apprécie de plus en plus.
Time: around noon.
OK this is not an inspiring shot but it does show that real strong sunlight conditions are important when using the Yashica GX. Or perhaps I need to practise more in such conducive conditions first.
I have been exploring film photography with this Yashica D TLR (Twin Lens Reflex) camera. It uses 120 film. No batteries. No light meter. Check my photo stream for some photos I have taken with this camera. Macro Mondays theme: "Photography Gear"
Chasing Classic Cameras with Chris -
Yashica Pentamatic '35' - Yashica's first 35mm SLR. Designed in 1959 and released in the Spring of 1960. It's fitted with a super sharp Tomioka Optical made Auto Yashinon 5.5cm f/1.8 lens.
These gems are hard-to-find in this condition as it was never intended to be collected so most were used heavily and put away "wet". The serial number on these cameras is rather easy to decode. This one is NO. 86008101 which decodes to 8=August, 60=1960, and 8,101 in the production up to that point. If you can find one in great cosmetic condition there's still a chance that the shutter won't fire. After all these years they generally need some attention internally and some fresh lube. Good luck!
Thanks for stopping by, Chris
