What a fantastic group! I recently bought a Yashica 635 and am excited to enter the world of medium-format photography. I'm very happy that there's a great...
Be careful about additional lenses. The wide- and tele-sets can be quite expensive and may degrade the quality of the image. You might be better cropping the...
I've heard similar problems with using the cable release because of the size of filters or a lens hood. You can purchase an L-shaped adapter for your cable...
Ive just brought off e-bay a 37mm bayonet Yashica lens hood with leather case. Im hoping this will fit my 124G ? Does anyone know as im sure they Bayonet mount...
My Yashica is Bay 1 (28.5mm). I don't remember seeing any Bay IIs - but if it's a Yashica hood, they must have made Bay IIs ... From: richard_arzooyan To:...
Thanks. The hood which is due to arrive next week looks identical to the one in the 124g manual. Im sure it will fit. My only thoughts were if the other...
I like the camera. I also have a Hassleblad with a couple of lenses. The Hassleblad produces better images but not always much better. I have friends who have...
Hello, Thanks for the e-mail. Its good to know that there are others out there who share the same passion not only for photography but also for the Yashica /...
Helllo, Im a new member with a Yashica 124G from London UK. Great site for users of the TLR - what superb little boxes they all are. I have a suggestion to...
Richard; I think you have a great idea here. If we get enough takers we could eventually create photo categories and open it up to the group to vote for their...
Excellent, My idea was based on the fact that the user group seems to be all about equipment (which is fine and fun) and we have all forgotten about the real...
I've read reviews of yashica cameras that say the yashinon lenses on later models are better than the earlier cameras with yashikor lenses. But is there really...
Yashinon lenses are generally said to be as good as Rolleicord lenses. Isn't one a three-element design and the other four? ... From: pigmiedave To:...
Yes, there is a clearly visible difference. Yashikor is a quite poor Cooke type lens (three glasses in three groups), and Yashinon is a quite good Tessar type...
I think the comment: "and I doubt any serious amateur needs a better lens" is interesting, I have in a Zeiss/Hasselblad lens, what is almost certainly a better...
Thanks for the advice about the difference in lenses. I recently purchased a never-used mint-condition Yashica 635, but it has the yashikor lenses. Should I...
Try running some film through it and see what images it produces. Lens design and construction has improved in leaps and bounds in recent years. (That doesn't...
Thanks for the great advice and encouragement everyone. I just shot my first roll with my Yashica and I'll be posting the results shortly. ... Lens design and...
