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...
I own 4 lightmeters and an ancient Wein flashmeter. Have had several older Sekonic Auto-Lumi's - used to check them against a grey card - because friends all...
Hi Denise: To my knowledge, there is no chronological list of Yashica TLR serial numbers spanning the various models (Flex, plain Mat, LM, EM, A,B,C,D,E,124G...
Hi, I'm Eliverto Scherer, I live in Brazil & own a Mat 124G and 35 mm stuff and shoot B & W mostly - I hope to learn a lot and, who knows?... help a little. ...
Hello all! I had no idea that my father had a Yashicamat EM and a Rollei TLR. I did know that he had a Mamiya C330 that he had used when he did weddings. I had...
Bonjour, Je suis français et je pratique la photo depuis plus de 30 ans, je me suis lancé dans le moyen format il y a peu. J'ai commencé avec un IKOFLEX,...
Check garage sales but mainly BIG old line camaera shops. T'ain't been made in 25-30 years. If that doesn't work - look at Eagle Creek's line of nylon or ...
