The first one was given to me, but won this on ebay through a 2nd chance
offer, total price with shipping was $35 and came with mint leather cover
and original lens caps which are hard to find. This is a test roll of expired
Fuji 160S film that Jussi sent me:









(color cast has been removed)
Has the same triplet Yashicor lens as the first one. Shutter speeds are
1/25, 1/50, 1/100, 1/300.

You did make better pictures with any of your cameras what I seen from this place. What is your opinion ?

Beautifully calm photos.... the expired Fuji goes blue (or whatever the technical term is) which one can correct for. But looks to me like this cam is in good song.

Paul, thanks, I like these little Yashica TLRs.

Attila, I dunno, I'm liking the results and that Yashicor lens can be a
sharp performer.

Jussi, thanks for the film and comments.

Pictures look very nice Bill. I have seen so many pictures of this place that I feel like I live there LOL.

I don't know much about that camera but it is medium format isn't it??? Seems to be working very well for you.

Ron, yes, it's a 6x6 TLR, shoots 120 film. Yeah, I know I've exhausted this
place, but it's one of the few photo-worthy spots around for testing cameras.

To think of all the places I missed in Maine when I wasn't into photography.
Sheesh.

i think waist level viewing and the square format may fit your eye very well. take that box and some good film, and hie thyself elsewhere for a run ...
