Who was it asked whether I was going to use my purchases? 
This is from the (correction) Yashica MG-1: I think it's "okay" and not much more but maybe I'm being unkind. I seem to have fewer differential focus shots on this film so I've perhaps not sought out its best capabilities.

It seems to be giving a lot of flare. Haze on the lens? Or try it with a hood? |

That's what comes of shooting "uphill" towards the big yellow ball which visits us now and again. Hood required but I don't mind a bit of flare now and then because someone could say that it's "artsy". Possibly.

Well, that's the secret name given to it by silly old twits. More popularly it's known and badged as the MG-1.
