      This is beautiful. You've captured a great moment. The colors and DOF are wonderful as well.

      Is this something that you had scanned at the time of processing at your lab? Can you give any details regarding that?

      Thanks. I was testing this Yashica 35 and the lense is renowned for shooting indoors without flash. This one is indeed a very nice shot, done with the right camera on the right moment. The Kodak lab processed it for me and provided me prints as well as a CD with scans (from the negative). Colours and dof are original.

      Full congrats, Bart. I hadn´t checked this one out, but I clicked the link and I must say I´m speechless. Of course, the lens and the film help, but the composition is gorgeous. Amazing colors, excellent DOF... I must get myself a Yashica RIGHT NOW!!!
      Best regards.

      Oh, I forgot to ask: which film did you use?

    7. bart_ (69 months ago | reply)

      Just standard Kodak iso 200. Do you have suggestions for other film types? I usually just buy this standard Kodak stuff. These Yashica's do not have to be expensive, but it's hard to tell if it's in a good condition up front. The first one I bought had a problem with the lever. I also had to buy 2 zorki's to get one fully functioned.

      You mean Kodacolor 200 or Kodak Gold 200? If you like shooting people more than landscapes, Kodak Portra or Fuji Reala are GREAT films, but more expensive. On the other hand, the grain is pretty fine, and you can get big enlargements. On the cheaper side you can try Fuji Provalue, which is very nice too!

      Okay, I have to try these, but my photo shop just never stock them. I'll ask them to order. Thanks
