What do you do about the right battery for the GSN? I may use some aluminum foil and a 6 volt alkaline battery. For some reason, I have never used my GSN.
Give us a sample picture from your Yashica

thanks Raid!
Arcadia is sometimes just round the corner. Although there is some 'swirly Bookeh' in the trees 😉

Raid - check out my June 17 blog entry, 4 LR44s are much less expensive than a a 6V alkaline and work well. You can use a screw and tape for a much more stable solution than just foil.

Raid, I've used a converter from the Yashica Guy, or check Karen Nakamura's site for a jerry rig which also works.
Roger, wonderful shot with your GS!

Thanks for the tip. After my 6V battery dies, I will try the approach mentioned in your blog.

Not to be picky, but I find this entomology interesting; I remember the word being "jury" rigged from when I was a kid working on big sailing ships. Actually entomology on a ship is nomenclature :bang:
Of course there is the infamous racist "N word" version of it, but where I come from, Woodstock NY, we fixed that by calling "hippie rigging."

Heh, John V-V, I used to use jury rigged however I decided to do an etymological check and found jerry rigged to be the 'preferred usage' and jury rigged described as a derivative. I think it was Oxford.
Your thinman site .. very nice photography! Any with a Yashica? I saw FSU.
BTW your empathy link is not working

Thanks and thanks, I thought I fixed that long ago :bang:
These sample pictures have such excellent tonality and color!
I took my Lynx 14 out only once and at night and over-exposed everything. I need to take out my Voitlander Vito B and my Lynx 14 out together sometime and actually learn to use a light meter.
For right now its mostly Olympus because the Zuikos take such excellent pictures of water about sunset, when the beavers like to come out. Last time we saw two get it on, but too far to photograph. When it got to dark and we went back to the car, they followed us as if they wanted us to photo them some more.
Right now I am trying to configure my new laptop (other got left in the rain when I went picture taking) so that I can scan the latest neggies.

Here's one from my Minster 700 which does have the f1.7 lens. I took this camera on holiday because it was going to be put on the back of a motorcycle, taken to a pop festival and exposed to saltwater, and I was scared of my III being damaged. Just as well really because everything got pretty wet, and I dropped the case front in the mud. I didn't get on too well with the Yashica. I find focussing harder than the III, and there is some haze in the viewfinder. I also find the controls a bit fiddly and awkward, particularly the linked EV which I never seemed to quite master. Nonetheless, for an old camera I'm not particularly familiar with, it did what I asked it to. I did have a separate handheld meter, but it was so inaccurate, I resorted back to sunny 16 rule without obvious problems. Overall I still prefer the III despite it's antiquated nature, but the Minster is a serviceable workhorse, and has it's own aura 'Old Skool' as one young festival goer put it.

Natalia, Privjet, Kakdela!
I see you're from the city of Kostroma. I was there just last fall and got some beautiful pictures of the fall folage. Beautiful reds, yellows and golden trees, as well as the beautiful Volga. I'm sure you would recognize some of the places I took pictures of. I'll try and add a few to this reply. The attached pictures were all taken on a Zenit 122. Paka!
