My Dad's Yashica Electro 35 GS and my First Photos

[SonnyThakur]

Hey guys. Stumbled across your forums while googling for Rangefinders
I recently acquired my dad's Yashica Electro 35 GS and these are my first shots.

I used Kodak Tmax 400 and the film was processed at a pro-lab here in the philippines. My E35 is rather dirty and has some growth on the lens but I have sent it in for repairs... these are the shots I have so far.

Be gentle?

I like the feeling of movement in the first and fourth shots.
Congrats on keeping your father's camera going.

@Dazed,

Nice pics were they post processed in photoshop, My yashis give great contrast pics \in colour but yours are amazingly contrasty - nice ones

Welcome to the gang Sonny. It is nice seeing so many new members jumping right in and contributing. Thanks for sharing.

Tunznath,
Thanks mate. These were untouched. Just resized. I think the reason these are so contrasty is cause the studio it was processed in is one of the only pro studios in the country and they have a reputation to keep

Rover,
Thanks for the warm welcome. I have some pictures on the way from the lab. I ran my first roll of kodak portra through the camera (right after having it CLA'd). I hope it turns out good
