Here's 2 from my newly refurbished Minister III. These were to only 2 scans I was able to salvage when my HP scanner went belly up.:mad:

The day was bright overcast and all shots were handheld. The film was Ilford HP5 and was developed for 6 and 1/2 minutes in Ilfosol 3 developer at a 1 to 9 dilution. Images direct from the scanner with no manipulation.

Thank you! I was quite happy with how it came out. Its one of my first successful 35mm shots as I usually am in the 40mm-50mm range. I need to take the CCN out again soon. Getting too bogged down at work and am missing the good photograph weather. ;)

This Yashica forum got me thinking, I have not used any of mine in a while :( , so I got my 35CC out, disassembled it to clean some haze out of the RF window and shot a couple rolls with it today. I almost forgot what great cameras these are! I made a galleryfor my 35CC images, here are some samples: http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showgallery.php/cat/820

Good forum,
Todd

Well, first post... here goes.

Todd - Make sure your film rewind knob is solidly attached! I recently put new light seals on mine, as well as an internal RF glass cleaning. Apparently, I didn't wrench on the film rewind knob tight enough upon reassembly and it fell off while using it over the July 4th weekend. Damn!

First shot is from the Wisconsin protests over collective barganing rights, and the second one is from a (very) small prairie burn in my backyard. I suspect both were shot wide open, on Reala 100

I've come to really appreciate the MG-1. I presently have three of them and I find I use them more than my GSN. I notice however that some of the folks on Ebay are asking outrageous prices for them, upwards to $200.00. I like them, but not that much!
 
From my Electro 35 (no suffix). Ilford 400, developed at home with HC-110, crappy HP scanner.

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.
