OK, you guys are going to have to answer to my wife. Sheesh.
And Keith ... no fair with posting a GSN host of Mad Carol. That's just evil.

Thaaankssss, its fun to use cheap stuff and put out nice pictures that can easily be blown up to size. I just got myself a yashinon 50 1.4 m42 lens to stick on my digital and hoping for some more of those fun times with the yashica stuff.

Colin, I really enjoy your little mini photo essays/reviews that you post up every now and then. I too think the electro 45 1.7 is just a beautiful lens. I really love that combo of hp5 and lc29.
Feel free to post more at any time in this forum community - everyone enjoys these and I don't think you'd ever tire us of them.
I'd love to see some color from the electro as well! I've had 3 of them but each hasn't worked properly in some way or another. I will persist and find a good one soon though!

Thanks a lot, I like writing these things, and if everyone will excuse my stupid spelling and grammar mistakes im sure that we can all have a little fun looking at them.
Color eh? I have shot some color with the GSN, I think I posted these before, but what the hey, couldn't hurt I guess: Provia 100f this time:
Horse in sunset graising on the Aba grasslands plentiful grass.
An Buddhist icon in the window seal of a small Buddhist building.
Morning just before sunrise on the hillside next to this small Buddhist village. My 20D stopped working here, the Yashica GSN was fine.
A famous stopping point on the journey through the Aba grasslands. Note all the Yak and Sheep.
Horse and Sheep farmer's house on the grasslands.
Small Buddhist building on top of a grassy hill.
Tibetan prayer flags blowing in the wind.
Tibetan prayer flags and alter.
A Lama left his clothes here.
These Tibetan prayer flags reminded me of the sails on a ship.
Morning prayers, walking around a building containing a prayer wheel.
A native of the grasslands who stopped to see what I was doing next to the road. Note the Dog.

Is that Tibet? (or Tibetan parts of Yunnan, Sichuan, Qinghai?) I went to Tibet once and being silly, didn't take a camera--many regrets--it's such a photo-worthy place especially since it's constantly changing at the hands of B'jing. I like your shot of the village at dawn. It reminds me of a John Ford film in a strange way.
I once taught a small photography class with cheap rangefinders and the best images seemed to consistently come from whoever had the Yashica camera and the Konica S2 (they rotated cameras). Part of it was the lens. Most of it was that they can be very easy to use and don't breakdown! (my favorite to use was the Konica C35)
Maybe some of us here should take a vow to only use <$50 cameras for a year and focus only on the craft. Your photos remind me that I've become too gear conscious these days. Regards.
