First rolls with the Yashica-C

[Hamel]

I just picked up an 'unkown' condition Yashica-C off of eBay for a steal and it's in pretty good condition. So far I've had a couple problems with the film advance and had a couple frames overlap. They aren't the same frames and sometimes there are none so I'm not sure what to make of it. Aside from that everything checks out.

These were all shot on Ektar 100.

Nice stuff. Sounds like a good find. I have a Yashica D that is such a pleasure to use and have been real pleased with the results. Good luck.

The Volvo pic is really quite a nice frame. Congrats on the new square maker. Which lens on the "c" ? Yashikor or Yashinon ( tripplet or tessar).

 

[Hamel]

Thanks. It has the Yashikor lens. I figured out that the film advance was stopping early but if I double check it has no problems. I've been shooting about a roll or two a day while getting used to it so here are a few more.

Yashica made fine TLR cameras. Some of the early models are excellent. I had a Yashica-A that was wonderful. Unlike Rollei, they all had very bright viewfinders. Nice photos. Keep shooting square.
