Hello there,

I finally got around to setup another little page with sample pictures, this time for my Yashica Electro 35 GSN (there is also a page for my Voigtlander camera).

I am quite happy with the Yashica, especially with the very accurate light meter--it hasn't failed on a single shot I have taken so far.

On the page you will also find links to the full-sized images, in case you want to see what these images look like in their full glory.

Of course these are only what I consider the best ones out of five rolls, but still I cannot say that any of the others are bad.

Anyway, here we go:

One sample image is attached.

Whooops, sorry, of course it's a Volvo. Will update that asap.

The scanner I am using is a Canon Canoscan FS4000US. It's a bit older, but I think it performs quite well. I originally bought it because it also has an APS adapter--when on "party vacations" I used a Canon Elph, and it was great fun to get all those images digitized. The scanner scans 6 35mm frames at a time. It can do an APS roll all in one go. Unfortunately it cannot handle medium format film.
 
The photograph with the Volvo is very impressive, very nice subtle tones, a movie-ish look, nice reflection and especially interesting is how the cars are positioned, like moving down and crossing themselves.

Which film did you used?

Well, that's San Francisco for you 🙂 Here you will hardly ever find a parking spot that is level.

The Volvo picture was taken with a Kodak Ektar 100 film, most other pictures were taken with a Fuji Superia 200.
 
@Stefan:
I just found another nice technique for sharpening, which is really useful with scanned negatives. What I found is that while the smart sharpening works great, it also introduces more noise to often already noisy scans. With the technique described here, you do more of a selective sharpening, but it's quite easy and quick, just follow the steps:
