Give us a sample picture from your Yashica

Great pics both, niimo. Really a lot of fun playing with the dof. I love tri-x in that camera for some reason - indoors, ambient light. Tri-x and Diafine. I shoot to at were the "under" light pops on, since it's supposed to shot around 1600.
 
Negative scan on a dirty scanner bed; sorry for the Newton rings... TriX 400, Yashica Lynx 14E at f1.4. Nick's post is right above this, and it gives me a good opportunity to thank him for his warm recommendation of this camera, which was instrumental in my decision to purchase it. I hope you like it :)

Oh - m'goodness. No need to thank me. I just come here to blab and rant about cameras. Do love the 14e though. Lots of folks don't like it due to its size but I really think it's something special. Metered manual and a very good 1.4 with fill-flash ready quiet leaf shutter? Parallax corrected view finder... C'mon what the hell else do you want from a camera? So it weighs a bit... BFD.

Anyway, another terrific shot, Newton rings and all. Glad you like the camera. Unlike restaurants, I continue to recommend them : )
 
The meter in my camera doesn't work, saves me the trouble of finding a poisonous battery. Before buying it, I was looking out on ebay for a Lynx 14E in working condition with possibly malfunctioning meter... and lo! along came one and I grabbed it :D

Thanks Nick! tri-x does seem to be just right for it! :p You know, I don't remember names of the posters, but I believe it was some posts here on RFF that lead me to look for a Lynx-14, too. I admit it was much bigger then I had anticipated, but it never bothers me. When I later first held a Canonet, I laughed at how small it was in comparison--but what a brilliant little camera it is too!

Lynx 14e

Lynx 14e

Still fiddling with scanning from glossy contact sheets, and this one has too many compression artifacts, but it was a fun shot of my daughter with daylight from a north kitchen window, either 2.0 or 1.4 at 1/60. The curls on her stuffed dog and the stripes on her shirt have great texture on the contact print, and I liked the contrast in her eyes and hair. Still getting used to the camera.
