Portra vc160 and Yashica Lynx results

[paulfish4570]

The kit: Yashica Lynx 14E with fixed Yashinon-DX 45/1.4.
The processing: Cameras Brookwood, an actual pro lab and worth the $20 for negs and high-res scan. I had to brush maybe 3-4 dust spots on the whole roll.
Two shots were on tripod and are marked thusly. The rest were held by shaky me, and boy what an improvement with this heavy camera and leaf shutter. Thanks to Brian. 😀

Nice pics. I found a Lynx for sale at a local shop and I'm tempted to pick it up and run a roll of film through it to see how well it works. The old Lynx is one of the few Yashicas missing from my collection.

Frontman, don't say such things! I have a Lynx and almost no other Yashicas. I don't want to excuse to start looking for a good deal on a GX or CC/N again. 😉

Its nice seeing some color shots with the Lynx. I've mostly used mine in black and white, low light conditions. If you're concerned about the shaking coming across in the pictures, don't be - nothing noticeable to me.

I like the street inside scene. I think shooting those locations can be a bit more challenging and thus a little rare by comparison.

Thanks, Brian and Front. The weight and leaf shutter give me a couple of more shutter speeds with which to get low-light shots. The camera is a boon to Mr. Neuro ... 🙂
