I miss my Yashica Mat 124.

Its been a while since I gave this little monster a workout. When he got it, it was in the form of 4 rolls of Black & White film. So I hit the streets with Arista Edu 400 & a few rolls of Delta 400 Pro, which the latter expired in 1999.

Here we go!

 

The Tree This camera is amazing. Its such a fairly priced camera with a simple lens (80mm 3.5), and it rocks. Really. I find myself hard pressed to consider coughing up seven times this amount for a Hassalblad 500cm. Yeah, the argument is that you will have a Carl Zeiss Planar, but come on, this rocks!

Ah, the outcome of shooting expired Delta 400 Pro film. This expired in 1999, and I bought 10-15 rolls off the guy. Developed at ISO 200, I think its stands out on its own. It has a character, and I intend to follow through with the other rolls to see what kind of images I can create. Nevermind the 'ugly' marks, I think it has something special to offer.


Tones in Mirror-mode This is from Tri-X rated at 400, or so I think.

 

I like the rendering of this lens. It has a slight swirl at times, which is unique.

Till the next time, see ya!
