Lovely image....
Erik,
What a lovely portrait. Great idea on shooting outside and the reflection of the evidently well maintained garden. There is an unwritten sadness and poignancy in the composition and his expression that I find quite moving. And provoking an emotion like that is difficult to achieve and praiseworthy.
Great work
Thank you all for your kind comments. Paul - I scanned it with my humble Epson V500.
Just for the heck of it, here's a photo I took over 30 years ago with Ilford HP5 in a Praktica Nova 1 with a 50mm Domiplan f2.8, my first SLR. http://flic.kr/p/gZLVLbLondon Country AN194 [XPG 194T] by -cybertect-
The last shot was actually the first I took with it. Shot at F2.8 and estimating the distance as the camera uses zone focussing I'm really impressed by the sharpness of the lens.
I've just run a roll of Fuji C200 :thumbsdown: through the Yashica Electro 35MC I bought last week. http://www.flickr.com/photos/stevelloyd/10456445414/ Untitled by Steve Lloyd, on Flickr This was as much to test for light leaks as the camera metering in pretty tough conditions and I've got to say that the auto-metering is awesome! As much as I normally prefer medium format and more manual control, there's something quite relaxing about trusting a tiny 35mm to make the metering decisions. Probably the hardest test was on Thursday evening when I went 330ft up to the top of the Anglican Cathedral tower in Liverpool with my digital kit (Sony NEX5/tripod) and tried out the 35MC at the same time; Sony NEX, tripod mounted http://www.flickr.com/photos/stevelloyd/10466178443/ Liverpool City from the Cathedral by Steve Lloyd, on Flickr Yashica 35MC - Handheld, around 2 second exposure http://www.flickr.com/photos/stevelloyd/10500036244/ Yashica Electro 35MC by Steve Lloyd, on Flickr I then headed down to the Protestant Cathedral in Liverpool and shot the bright university building opposite. Again, handheld and auto-metered in complete darkness http://www.flickr.com/photos/stevelloyd/10500030184/ Yashica Electro 35MC by Steve Lloyd, on Flickr On Friday I headed down to the Mersey coastline and took a few shots looking across to Liverpool. I decided to convert this to B&W because I'm not a huge fan of the C200 colours (the only 35mm I could get hold off quickly!) http://www.flickr.com/photos/stevelloyd/10500002985/ Yashica Electro 35MC by Steve Lloyd, on Flickr The last shot was actually the first I took with it.

Something rather cinematic about that
Bad luck on the C200
On the other hand it looks like you've got a cracker there, I love the Yashica rangefinders. What size filter thread does it have? I have a set of w/a & tele lens attachments and think they must be for the MG or MC as they didn't fit my Electro GTN
Well I like em...was flash used in the last one ?
Flash.....?.
I wouldn't even know where to put a flash on that camera
Took me a while to figure out what I was meant to do with the info in the viewfinder..... never tried film, nor a manual lens before then.....
No phone signal meant I couldn't check the online manual for it.... so I was glad I got something.
Well it was a very good first attempt and the exposure looks ok to me...meters like subjects that are grey
Lomo LC-A+, With Kodak Plus X 5231 Motion picture film.
I didn't realise that Plus X was a motion picture film but I suppose it makes sense as Double X is for motion pictures.
I used some Double X a couple of years ago and liked it. Is Plus X just a different speed rating?
Steve.
i do like that Lee
