Well, quite busy these days with enormous amounts of work, not much dedication to the important things Wink

However, I was able to finish the first roll on the Yashica Lynx the past week end. I got today the pictures from the lab, and I got quite impressed. Good saturation, nice sharpness...

And what it's more important, the F/16sunshine way rules!!!

Shot with Superia 200:






(Andy, thanks again, I'm enjoying it a lot)
Best regards,
Jes.

Really really good results Jes!
And needless to mention, enchanting scenery.

1- hit strong on the head the laboratory guys, they are ruining your negatives by scratching them Evil or Very Mad
Seriously, let them know, they have to take more care!

2- place a bomb or two under those horrible hotels on the coast, far distant in picture 4, they are ruining your beautiful landscape, these things make me very angry Mad

Thanks, Orio.
The scratching on the film was not made by the lab, they use to work very fine. I did them. The camera has a mechanical problem on the sprocket and I didn't notice it before putting the roll.
When I ended the roll, I was unable to rewind the film, the sprocket got blocked, so I had to take the film out the hard way... I'm afraid I did the scratching when pulling the film out.
It's a pity but I won't be able to use it again until I find a replacement sprocket.
So I'm concentrating on the Electro 35 and the Minister D...
Best regards,
Jes.

Hi Cosmin.
Thanks, it's a nice Yashica IC Lynx 5000 if I'm not wrong (the labels fell out). It's a coupled rangefinder with a yashinon lens f/1.8 and speeds of 1/1000, 1/500, 1/250, 1/125, 1/60, 1/30, 1.15, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2. 1 sec and 'B'.and a self timer. This model comes with a battery powered light meter but it doesnˇt depend on it to work. I've been using the f/16 sunshine rule and table and the shots are quite accurate in terms of light.
Now I'm working on the Electro 35 that has a faster lens (f/1.7). Hope to have time to try it on the next week-end.
Best regards,
Jes.

Thanks, Carsten.
Well, just a few lucky shots...
To be honest, I fired several times with the lens cap on... I trend to forget this is a rangefinder and I cannot see through the lens... Smile

Best regards.
Jes.

Jes these look great. I'm sorry to hear about the sprocket, I have had this problem also once. The model is indeed a lynx 5000 if it has shutter speeds to 1/1000. I hope you can repair the sprocket, it seems the results from this unit show it is otherwise very good. Smile

Thanks, Andy!. For sure I'll be fixing the sprocket. I got a Minister D that has a worse lens, so I'm thinking on a sprocket transplant... But first I've to be sure. Now I'm working the seals of the Electro 35, the lens is superb, f/1.7...
Let's see what I can do with all three.

Enjoy your holidays!
Best regards,
Jes.
