.... 19th December 2009, I was testing my Yashica Electro GSN. The camera works great. I asked my wife to shoot a few pictures and in the mean time I was shooting to.....

I think my GSN is consistantly over exposing. Although I kind of like the effect, I can't remember which direction to bump the asa in order to compensate for the over exposure.

Set the ISO on the camera slightly higher than the ISO on the box. This will cause a slight under exposure.

Thanks... I needed that information. I've read it before but cannot seem to remember it.
My particular GSN has this one little over exposure issue. I think it's due to a mis-calibrated asa dial. I've taken the top off a couple times now and the dial just sort of floats on top snug enough not to move randomly, but sometimes it follows the ring as I adjust it. On top of that, I don't really know where the dial should be positioned exactly. I could be thinking I'm setting it at 400 but really it's at 200. :bang:

Anyway, thanks for the info. 😀

Jack, your pictures are absolutely amazing! The one with the apples, the one with the sundown and especially the one with the pool - I would put them all ony my wall!

Keep 'em coming like that!

Wow! Thanks so much...

Not that it matters, but just for clarification, those aren't apples... they aren't oranges either, 😀 they're Citrons,... melons that grow wild out in the field. They look just like water melon, except they aren't sweet. They're non indigenous/foreign melons that likely found their way here from Africa... possibly during the slave trade era. I've eaten them, but I don't think they taste very good.

I want to show you something. I've been testing equipment... cheap camera's, rangefinders, slr's, manual lenses and so forth to get some idea of what is true or not here in Internet land...
Now I really like this Yashica. It is very sharp and I think the resolution is astounding... if I can get the correct exposure for the situation, but here's a shot of the same swimming pool taken side by side with a Pentax SF-1 coupled to an SMC 50mm 1.4 that I recently picked up for about the same price as the Electro 35.
Can you tell a difference besides composition and/or maybe some PP tweaks?

I know this is a weird comparison, but it may be interesting to others as well.

Personally, I think the Yashica has the better resolution.

I'm really not familiar with film and its various characteristics, so I'm surprised by the amount of color in B/W film.
Maybe I shouldn't, but I've been de-saturating via iPhoto most of these shots because they show an almost dried blood red in the shadows. Is that normal? But then, what is the point of buying special (more expensive) B/W film if I'm going to de-saturate it once it goes digital?

look at this thread, not bashing but isnt leica glass over rated?
I feel i can get images with a yashica rangefinder just as nice or nicer than any leicas glass.

I heard the same comment from someone viewing images from my Olympus 35RC! It's a case of £400-500 (Leica) vs £25 (RC) or £50 (Electro 35). I'm not sure I need the Leica effect that much...
Best regards,

plus a 40mm lens is about perfect for me. I really have no need for wider or longer lenses. I always seem to go back to the 40mm.
