I don't know about a worldwide day and time for a Yashica click-fest. But how about some examples of what your Yashica can do?

Here's one I just scanned. The Arno river in Florence, on a cloudy, snowy day In Italy, 2/22/05.

One advantage to Florence this time of year.....the Arno has some water.

here's one from my GS, which I've had for about a month now. It was this series and a roll of color I shot that made me really like these cameras. The over/slow indicators on my camera require that I "pump" the release to wake them up, they're a little flaky (a cleaning maybe?). I'm not a big fan of not being able to have more exposuure control and not knowing the shutter speed, but I love the fast lens and the look. :p
 
jon,
I see in your signature that you have both the Yashica GSN and the Canon G III QL17, and I see you using the Yashica in your avatar. I just picked up a QL17 today. Which do you prefer?

The Yashica overall, although I obtained good results with the QL17. I I like the larger size, and the available light abilities of the GSN.
 
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
 
It's a pity I don't have my own scanner. Today I developed the first pictures I took with my Lynx 14E and it appeared to work perfectly. The pictures show great contrast and sharpness.
 
everyone's photos are great!

ok, that does it.. I'm going to spend some quality time with my GSN this weekend.. I've had it for over a month, and I've only managed to take 4 shots with it so far.. I've gotta stop working so much
 
I dug my GSN out of my local camera store's junk box. I paid $2.00 for it and $1.00 for a 55mm hood. A little vinegar in the battery compartment, a new 6volt battery and a small wad of Aluminum foil and it was good to go.
 
OK, here's one from my newly repaired Professional:

The star burst is light reflecting off the polished marble obelisk - I was interested to see if I could capture this without suffering from too much flare. I think the result is quite encouraging. The film is an off-brand 400asa special, but may actually be 3M.

Overall, I'm very happy with this camera - particularly the low-light performance and accuracy of the meter. I also got a GTN which is the next one for a test roll - if it's as good as the Pro, it will be another keeper!

I seem to have caught the Electro bug - I have a GSN in a state of complete dissassembly and a GT on its way from the US. Now, if I can just snag a CC......
 
I would say that is excellent handling of flare with an Electro. I have learned to avoid shooting towards the sun, even with a hood.
 
Here are picts taken with my GSN.
