Beautiful photos! The clarity with that camera is outstanding. Did you use a closeup attachment for the flowers? - I’m sure there’s a Yashika TLR repair master somewhere. When I got my Minolta Autocord I was surprised to find a specialist that only serviced that type of camera. He serviced it good as new!
Many thanks, Alicia. I just set the focus to minimum and moved back and forth until I hit the sweet spot. Not exactly easy when you're sown on your knees lol.
Luckily, regarding getting the EM overhauled, if I do decide to, there’s a guy down the other end of the country who I trust with these things. He does a good job (he’s actually got a couple of old’ns of mine that he’s working on at the moment).
Thank you… – these are just about perfect: so I really hope the Yashica keeps working for you. Slowing down when taking photographs is good for all of us, as well… – so a wonderful post; and I hope you have a wonderful holiday!
I had to reread that sentence to make sure I read it correctly...
"I’ve owned this camera for more than half of it’s life..."
Just this one word changed the whole tone of the conversation for me. "It's," not "my." 😆
Joyful tonalities all. Cheers!
Haha! Technically speaking, I suppose, the sentence kind of works both ways😁
Thank you for your kind comment.
Beautiful BW photos . . . medium format is so rich
Many thanks, Eric. This was the first time I’d tried this particular camera+filter+film combo. I rather like it.
Happy boating days Ralph. See you at the other side.
Thanks, Paul!🙂

Have fun on the canals and I hope it all goes well with the Yashica 🤞
Cheers, Mark, I appreciate it 🙂

A lovely opportunity to slow down and be more thoughtful about the approach. I wish you continued luck with the camera.
Cheers! Thanks for the restack🙂
