Shooting with the Yashica Mat 124
This is my first Twin Lens Reflex (TLR) camera, and I must say it is a stunner. I personally rate it extreme value for money (US$140) thereabouts, with the Yashinon f3.5 taking lens, it kicks ass! This shot below is with Arista's EDU 400 (actually Fomapan 400), is without filter, and shot at about f5.6.
As I dont shoot much with the Yashica, I cannot justify my lust for a Hassalblad 500CM. I guess the Yashica at this point in time suits me just fine. Its light, relatively fast, and easy to pack.
The feline above had some post processing done to bring out the colours a little more, but the lens has done great wonders in the out of focus areas (bokeh).
The leaf shutter is quiet and accurate. Even though its built in 1960's, this camera really rocks!
