Yashica!

Another sentimental and impulsive buy. We used this camera as a learning tool in photo club in my primary school. Not my first camera, but one I really learned something about shooting a photo. I look in the viewfinder, and it was like I met a dear old friend I forgot that exist.

The same lens. On the left is the specially made all-black Auto Yashinon 5cm f/2 lens for Yashica's first black SLR, the J-3. On the right is a Tominon C. 5cm f/2 lens specifically for the Wards SLR 500 and 600 cameras from 1964 and 1965. Both cameras were made by Yashica. The lens was only produced for use on the Wards branded cameras and was produced in rather limited numbers.
Thanks for stopping by, Chris
This was my first camera. I got it when I was four years old. It belonged to my father. He took my baby pictures with it. He died when I was two years old.
For five years I viewed the world through the ground glass of his Yashica, trying reconnect with him. When I was nine years old, I earned yard mowing money and finally bought film. My first prints were pitiful black blurry images. But I learned and got better.
I took this camera to my first photography class in college. It was my only camera, and by then I was proficient with it. Electronics were just making their way into SLRs at the time, and the Canon AE1 was the hot ticket. My camera was made fun of and I dropped the class after the first day. I never took another photography class.
Today I shoot with anything in my hands. I don't care if it's a camera phone or a Hasselblad. They are all just tools. Except this camera. It is still special. It is magic.

Snapped with a Yashica Yashinon DS 50mm f1.7.
The radioactive tint of this lens is good for autumn, but it's a good lens regardless of that - one walk often produces loads of keepers!
Agfa Optima Sensor is a very simple scale camera, but showed good enough results, which even surprised me. I took the photo with a new film of the Yashica Golden 80s. The film also made me happy!

Found this old little treasure while remodeling our house.
My Dad said he bought it in Mexico years ago...long time.
The Yashica 44, 44A, and 44LM were a series of small twin-lens reflex cameras, designed to give 12 exposures of 4x4 cm on 127 rollfilm.
Yashica introduced the model 44 in 1958 as Japan's first 4x4 TLR. The camera was offered in several color options, but the gray version (no doubt inspired by the gray Baby Rolleiflex of 1957) proved to be the most popular.
Will I know how to use it?
um...

Yashica Mat 124G TLR, Expired Fuji Astia 100. April 28, 2008
Just trying out how a cross porcessed slide film image will look from a TLR. I think I prefer BWs and regular negative films ( Which I'll try next) Sorry for the poor shots. :(
