So I recently picked up a Yashicamat 124G and Ive been exploring film for the first time. I stumbled on the camera in a charity shop for a steal and it looks like its never actually been used. Whilst in Italy on my summer holidays I had a good rake around some of the flea markets in Florence and found a Rollei B1 close up kit to pair up with the Yashica.
Here are two or three portraits - all developed and scanned by Filmdev. the film was an old roll of HP5 that was in the box with the camera - expired 1989.
Quite pleased with the results. Ive sharpened then up a little in lightroom but other wise pretty much as they were delivered. Im surprised how sharp the close up kit is, it lets me get a lot closer to focus than I could with the standard lens and therefore a lot shallower depth of field - these were all shot wide open at F3.5
Any hints, tips or CC appreciated.
