...nice camera...

Why thank you. And it means a lot more coming from such an unbiased source.

I was starting to worry there for awhile! Sorry for your problems, but glad to hear it was the processing. I thought the shots you posted looked pretty good, though, except for the one of the statue.

Press on!!

Back to La Placita Villiage at night

Back to La Placita Villiage at night

I am currently involved in a program at work where the two owners of the company and four employees are studying to take a Cisco Systems exam for certification to install lan systems. We started a "boot camp" study program last Friday at a local computer learning center and will take part one of the exam next Wednesday. While for some of you this may not seem a big deal but for me it has involved a LOT of after hours study and review of materials. I had just finished a two hour study session Saturday night and needed a break from it when it occurred to me that some night shots downtown would be just the thing to clear my head.

It was great. When I turned on the radio in the car the local public radio station had jazz on and it was just the right music to hear while driving downtown. La Placita Villiage was completely deserted. Not a soul in sight. I took a number of shots in and around the site and below are a couple I thought worked out okay. Although the Yashica E 35 will compute long exposures on its own I took along my meter and shot in bulb using the exposures indicated by my meter. Aperture in all cases was f-22.

Well, there seems to be a problem with the site at the moment. I uploaded one image but it won't upload the second right now.

Ah, there it is.

Not only is my GSN a fine camera but it also allows me to travel in time so I was able to catch this charming family group gambolling among the daffodils several million years ago.

There's also a handheld nightshot in my gallery impressively metered by the GSN.

Here are some of my 1st photos from my Lynx 14e.

I just scanned in my first roll with my recently repaired (thanx G-Man) GSN. Is this camera prone to flare? I have seen sharper photos from my Canonet QL17 but maybe I simply have a problem focusing this baby. Do think this lens produces better results with b&w?

This is a frame from a roll of Fuji Color 200. I guess this lens needs a hood, right?

Here's a recent one from my Electro 35 GS. Love that Yashinon 1.7!

I also just recently got a GSN and was also really surprised by how flare prone the lens is. Probably the worst in this regard of any camera I've ever owned. I'll have to find a good hood for it and be more careful and see if I can get better results.

I got a cheap rubber hood for free but had to chop it up so much to clear the rangefinder that I don't think it is working so well. Here is a shot with lens flare. My first roll of Tri-X developed myself in Diafine!

Yashica GSN w/auto up lens

Yashica GSN w/auto up lens

Hopefully this will come out. Nothing compostionally enticing here, just checking my light seal job on a brand new looking GSN. Found the auto up and other accessory lens and checked those out too. Works great. It is without a question, a thinking process. No auto focus here. I was roughly 1.8 Ft. from the tomato which by the way is getting bigger, and barring any infestations, will ripen soon. This was taken handheld and this is the image from the cd from Wal Mart, but at 100%, I can clearly see the little hair like growth on the main stalk of the plant.

Yashica GSN Test shot

Yashica GSN Test shot

Ok, I'll post another. Film used was Kodak Gold 200, developed at the local Wal Mart. These reds look unreal for some reason. Anyone know? May try some Reala and see how that comes out. I'll test the camera some more tomorrow for Mothers Day. Happy Mothers Day to all you Mothers. None of us would be here without you.

"Although the Yashica E 35 will compute long exposures on its own I took along my meter and shot in bulb using the exposures indicated by my meter. Aperture in all cases was f-22."

I looked at the two you uploaded the first looks great, the second is too considering you were facing into a light the result impresses me. Did you use the meter for both shots or only one? If only one, which one? I'm just curious.

@ Kevin, I find my GSN and my Lynx 14 both prone to flare. I just avoid shooting into the sun. Unless you have a multi coated lens of high quality (like Zeiss Sonnar for example) most shooters have flare. I use a lens hood to deal with this but even then .... it doesn't always save my shots toward the sun. For $40 I can't imagine being able to purchase any lens that would survive that test. I just use it for what it is capable of and it does that very well for me. A lot of my gallery shots are with this camera.

Hi Jan,

What is this lens best capable of? Night shots, indoor shots, overcast days, rainy days?

Best,
Kevin

For both. I have gone back at night once since then and used the auto exposure of the camera as well as a meter and found that the hand held meter is estimating exposures about 1/3rd longer than the internal . Did you notice that I am in the second one as a sort of ghost image?

This one posted here is from the last outing and used the internal metering. It is also on Ilford C-41 B&W film instead of the Kodak. People were walking down the center of the lane but none stopped long enough to catch a clear image. The internal meter was exposing at about 15 seconds at f-22. The scene is the same as the second image of the previous post but from the opposite side of the lane.
