Yashica Mat 124

Posted by
Hikari (Kumamoto, Japan) on 14 September 2008 in Art & Design.

My dear friend Joan Mercadal sent me this beauty a few days ago and also some 120 expired films with it.
As I couldn´t wait to see how the photos turned out , I took it for a walk around home.
I´ll be posting from tomorrow the 7 photos I got out of 12.
I think I was doing something wrong when rolling the film.
I´m also becoming familiar with my new scanner Epson V500 , I see some shadows on the scans , but maybe is something to do with the fact that the film rolls are expired in 1995...

Thanks a lot Joan !! , I´m really having fun with this beauty!!

De nada hombre! Ahora al menos la cámara estará en mejores manos, y no criando polvo en un cajón. Por la fecha de caducidad de los carretes puedes hacerte una idea del tiempo que llevaba parada...
Que alegría ver sus fotos de nuevo!

Yo tengo una Kodak Retinette antigua de mi padre... le falla el disparador y no encuentro donde me la reparen. Así podría repetir sus fotos con aire de Beatles. Creo que cualquier persona con esa cámara, por inútil que fuera, haría fotos buenísimas.
