Yashica Electro - serious vignetting

[Madrigal]

At first I thought this vignetting was due to a lens hood I'd borrowed from a Konica Autoreflex.

But the next roll, sans hood, revealed the very same issue.

I mean, it's a nice effect and all, but I'd rather have a choice in the matter 😀

3rd roll, same issue. Foolishly, I don't recall apertures, save for this shot.

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? Seems to be the worst when stopped down.

Thanks!

No filters up front? ... Roger

No filters, no nuthin'. The B/W roll was a test roll with this issue in mind- nothing was up front- no fingers, either 😀

Strange problem, eh?

You should never have put that Konica hood on it Rose ... it didn't like it!

It has to be the shutter ... surely! 😕

Nice photos though! 🙂

Probably. The blades are not fully opening...

Wow, your submarine sure gets around!

Ha! That's too funny! And very cool- never would have thought of that. New series... me and my periscope 😀

Probably is the shutter having trouble. Wouldn't surprise me after 40 years. Really nice camera, though. My boyfriend found it at a Goodwill for $5.99. I never find deals like that :bang:

It's going on a trip to Idaho to see Dean Williams on Monday.
