Here are a couple of shots with a Yashica Lynx 5000 (meter not working)
so all shots are either sunny 16 or Gossen Luna pro F, XP2 film, scans are either from processing at Walmart or a scanned print from Walmart.
They are nothing outstanding but c+c welcome.

The first is one of my first shots with this camera, some overgrown concord grapes near my house.
(they leave the vineyard get overgrown because a mahine picks them?)

#2 is at a state park about 15 miles from my home

#3 is a random house next to a parking lot to a business


I just wanted to get the ball rolling

Good stuff bbshooter, that'll roll the ball Wink

Here's something from the Certo Super Sport Dolly Xenar - it does have a RF! Ilford Delta 100 in D-76 undiluted. There was a light leak in this frame and I didn't have the patience to fix it completely - so there's a dark stripe across the teepees.

Jussi and bbshooter, nice ones, and I will continue with B&W. The first
shot I posted before, but these were testing rangefinder focus with my
second Voigtlander Bessa RF 6x9 (thanks again for finding this one, Attila!)
using Delta 100 for the first time and dev'd with my homebrew Thornton's
2-Bath:





4 mins each bath @20C, scans @1200dpi, Epson 4490

1st shot wide open at f3.5, 2nd shot f16, infinity focus, 3rd shot at f5.6

i like what that little skopar does, andy.

bb, wonderful grape shot (get it? grapeshot? cannon? at concord?).

kat, you know i like that first shot. that duck, though, whew ...

nice shot with something i have no idea of what it is, jussi.

i went crazy in the manual lenses forum today (it is so nice to have upload ability again) with threads on the industar 50, the jupiter 8, and a little indy/jup comparo. what do y'all think?

(two of the three should be moved to the bw gallery in a couple of days, please, andy.)

thanks all for responding ... Cool

Yes Carsten. Those kids must be growing. It's time for an update. I vote for your Yashica electro Razz

Nice stuff, as always guys.

Does anyone know what the differences are between the Lynx 's 45 f1.8 lens and the Electro 35 's 45 f1.7 lens (other than multicoating)?

Portra is a Kodak film I bought 5 rolls of and realised I hated it after the 1st roll.

The Konica C35 P&S is a range finder camera so here's my snap:-

This was a very difficult scan as I just couldn't get everything the correct colour and looking right even in PS, the supermarket print machine had beaten me as the photo looks quite nice.
