Give us a sample picture from your Yashica

Yashica CCN, Delta 100.

This roll finally confirmed to me that the rangefinder is slightly off; the lens is backfocusing by about 6 inches. I attempted an adjustment last night but... um... I messed up. As I went to adjust it, I was looking at the top under a magnifying glass, figuring out where which screws to adjust.

As I was looking a bug - a centipede or something - came out of the camera. 0.o

I was a bit startled and jolted the camera. A tiny washer and small pin fell out. Not sure where they go yet. Everything seems to be working but i really don't like having parts left over after putting a camera back together. :|

And I really want to know why the heck there was a bug inside the camera. At least it didn't show up as I was looking through the viewfinder. That would probably be heart attach material.

I don't know how bugs get into cameras, but they manage to do so with regularity, especially here in Japan.

The little metal pin and washer is part of the flash PC socket, these sometimes come out in the CC/CCN cameras. It's loss won't affect anything. Some people prefer to remove the pin because without the pin in place, you can use fill flash without the camera slowing down the the 1/30th sync speed.
 
A few more from the MG-1. I just bought a black one from the big auction side. Fingers crossed that she's a good as this one.

a few of the first shots with my new Electro 35GT using Kodak GOLD 200. i like the colors this film gave and decided to enhance the vintage feel that the film had with a bit of photoshop tweaking.

Focus seems to be good. I was a little concerned at first that it might be off. All of these are. CVS scans so they aren't that good, but for $10 to develop and scan 3 rolls I'm not going to complain! 🙂

Thank you very much for your nice comment Mike! My Lynx 14 is somewhat unwieldy to shoot (heavy, meter needle projection is practically invisible inside the viewfinder, stiff shutter speed ring, intermittent meter switch) but the results I got from it filled me with joy: something that does not happen very often with my photography! 🙂

I can't help wondering what shooting with the 'over/under' indicator lights system of the Lynx14e must be like...
