I had a MAT124G and now I have a 12. Both are good cameras, both have built in meters. Since the PX13 battery is not available here anymore, I simply use a...
Hello, Finally I bought a Yashica Mat. Now my question ... Which accessoiries are there for the Mat and, more important, which accessoiries are of any use ? ...
Hello Marc: Probably the best thing is a lens shade. Expect to pay about $50 for one of these. It is a bayonette mount, and the ones for the Rollie twin lens...

Many Rollei accessories will fit as long as you keep to the Bay 1 size. Filters are readily available depending on whether you take B&W or color. You can also...
I found that out the hard way. I got a cheap copy, and not only did it look like junk, it would not even mount up. I got a Yashica shade and it fit just...
I have a yashica mat 124 with a lents that has a problem inside. It started to apear small dots like a spider web or something. What can I do to solve the...
I think you may have fungus growing in the lens. The lens will have to be disassembled for cleaning. If the fungus has been growing for some time and has...
Hello, I have a Yashica 635, in which I unscrewed the Ring around the front of the shutter lens, and removed the top lens to clean out the dust inside. I put...
No, to focus, the whole mount racks in and out. ... From: Nathan R . Cowlishaw <nrcowlishaw@...> To: yashicatlr@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, February...
Well Stuart, I guess your the only one that knows an answer to my question. thankyou for your response! Nate ... front ... dust ... the "Yashikor" ... against...
Hi Nate, it looks like this list has been very quiet lately. You probably do not have a problem, but if you want to be sure, I think the easiest way to check...
Infinity, for a photographic lens, is 200x the focal length of the lens. This is why, when you focus on a distant object and then look at the markings on the...
Hi Nate: I agree with the approach given by Stuart. If you don't have matt finish tape or ground glass, wax paper should work just as well. Wayne in...

Hi Stuart, I just took a look at my Canon FD 50mm lens here, 200x50mm = 10,000mm, or 10 meters. But the lens has a marking for 10m, which is before the...
I was obviously wrong in saying that it was 200 x the focal length. I don't know where I got it; I have to look up the reference because the number 200 was...
Hi Stuart, thanks for the reply. My reason for asking is that I'm planning on trying some astrophotography when the weather turns warmer. I would have thought...
I read about a clever "trick" a while ago in a digital photography magazine, but I've yet to try it. Basically you go to the hardware store and buy a 1/4" bolt...
Yeah, or walking around on vacation. As long as the light is good and you can use a relatively fast shutter speed, you should be able to get some pretty nice...
Don't forget that a TLR is basically a box and often easy to rest on a rock, log or fence in the country or bench, counter, and so on in the city. ... From:...
Just a note to let everyone know that the filters and lens that are sold at some stores for the yashica mat124g camera can be purchased directly from omax in...
Beware of lens shades from India; I bought one for $19 from a reputable dealer. It was appalling. ... From: JAMES To: yashicatlr@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Keep on searching camera shop bins - Yashica filters are also BM-30 sized, I found that I had a Rollei Heilrott - beet red filter the other day along with a...
Use that self-timer too. A beanbag is small and maleable to shape - get one or make one. Ah make it with beans sealed in plastic so water doesn't make them...
Since we are all using older cameras I think some of us may have a concern about the reliability of the meters. Others of us have non- metering cameras. Of...
I use a handheld meter all the time. I use an incident/reflected meter and a spotmeter. The meter on my TLR still works, but a handheld is more accurate for...
Get a good shade, made by either Yashica or Rollei. I first bought one of those cheap ones and it was really bad. It would not fit, and trying to put it on...
Sorry for another OT post but this seems like a good place to ask my question. Does anyone belong to a group or list that is dedicated specifically to "film...
Pure Silver is a film only photo list. People on the list do do digital photography but don't talk about it on the list. It is NOT a list to discuss which is...
