Last month I went to Cercedilla (Fuenfría valley, Sierra de Guadarrama), and brought the Yashica FX-70 and my two mf lenses with some rolls of film. These are some of the landscapes I shot up there:
(i'll post another thread with 'nature' shots)

More about the location:
Quote:
Valle (valley) de la Fuenfría
An eastern valley situated nearby the City of Cercedilla (Community of Madrid) featuring one of the better preserved wild pine forests of the mountains. The valleys faces in a north to south direction, has a length of approximately 5 km, a width of approximately 2 km and is located between Siete Picos and the edge of the province of Segovia. The valley's dense forest features a deep creek and a well-preserved, ancient Roman road that crosses the mountain running toward the Fuenfría Pass . On weekends and holidays the valley is flooded with tourists and mountain climbers who debark at a recreation area with a car park found at the valley's lower edge.

Naplam, I love clouds!.
Your set is excellent, nice to see that Guadarrama landscapes.
(I don't know if I told you so, but I lived in Madrid for seven years and the "sierra" was one of the places we liked to visit during the weekends.)
Your FX-70 performs really well... Or I should say you perform really well behind the FX-70? Wink

Jes.

Ah, so you know it already. It's a nice place, cooler and more calm than Madrid, and it's so close by car...

I also used the Canon EF-M, but only a few shots were ok, the shutter blades are sticky... and it was a bit cold up there (those shots are from the Alto del Telégrafo, almost 2000m high) so they were even more sticky. I have to try to clean them again, but no matter how much i clean them, the tar-like substance appears again Sad it seems some Canon cameras suffer from this.
