Yashica Mat / Discuss

Nothing scientific here, but I thought I'd show this shot from yesterday. Late afternoon sun just out of frame as you can see from the shadows on the left side. A plastic eBay lens hood. I think this shot would have been hazy and fogged from internal reflections, with even the stairs in shade hazed over a bit. Although not multi-coated perfect suppression of flare and glare, the limited glare around the bottom of the pole does seem pretty darn good for a Yashica-D!

Yashica-D, Yashinon lens, Fuji Neopan 400, Kodak HC-110 (1:100, 11min 20C).

Quick scan at 1200 dpi, Canon 8400. Shadow/Highlight adjustment and minor curve adjustment, sharpened, in Photoshop CS3.



If you go to the large version and look along the left edge, you can see some halation bleeding into the black frame edge. This makes me think that I'm hitting the limits of the film to handle glare before the lens glare is killing everything? Or at least a pretty tight race into the fog between camera glare and film halation. Again, seems much better than I had been getting on the D before adding the flocking.
