A Few From The Yashi

[Dan Cattermole]

I really REALLY like this Yashica Lynx 5000e that I picked up for a few quid from the flea market.
I really can't believe how well I'm getting in with a rangefinder.... Excellent!
And the bizarre thing is, I'm a left eye shooter, and for some reason I'm shooting right with this.
Anyway, a few samples.
The subjects are the usual (of course)

Cheers Hammy, the Voigtlander..... Is that the black one that you let me have a bash on at your BBQ a few years ago? A real beastly thing that is if it is the one.
I feel I'm going to get into trouble with these rangefinders and the wife.......

 

[Hamish Gill]

Yeah that's the one ... I'm replacing it with one of these http://uk.leica-camera.com/photography/m_system/m7/

Get into trouble! They are worth it

I'm sure that I have mentioned in another thread that you are very naughty Hamish. Such a bad influence!!

 

[Hamish Gill]

Haha ... I've just being pushing one of my Ricohs on @Ben Jennings ... I think he would agree with you!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

That M7 looks the fekin tats!

 

[Hamish Gill]

I don't know what that means but I'm going to assume its good?!

Beautiful shots. Welcome to the rf world. It's a joy. And be warned stay away from Hamish. He's a dangerous man to know, financially speaking.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

I'm beginning to find that out myself! Lol

 

[Hamish Gill]

I'm also reliably correct in my suggestions

 

[Paul Lange]

No 1 is a superb photo Dan.

 

[Pete Askew]

Cracking set Dan but number one is superb. Not just a fabulous portrait but it has a wonderful sense of tension to it too.

So, what are these here RF things then?!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Thanks all...
Pete, That's the face of her concentrating on the tv behind me. Lol. Tension was certainly there as the tv was going off straight after that shot in which was made clear to her.

 

[Dave Young]

Great set Dan, you must be seriously chuffed with those.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Thanks Dave, I'm happy with these shots, but more so happy with the camera. It's excellent... I love it!

 

[Dave Young]

Yes Dan, I can see why. The temptation is great to get something like this
