Another no-nonsense wide open exposed roll.



From the cradle to the grave, 2nd world war cemetery. Requiescat in pace.

I love maple trees.

The bucolic stargate, entrance.




Where is the hare? hint: it's there!








The bucolic stargate, way out.





C'mon turn up the sun, turn it up for everyone.

semaphores vs. mutexes :)










It's always a joy to take pictures with the old Lady. [metered @ 100 ASA].

Not all those who wander and run in the mountains are lost.

Yay, first mountain running ever for the Yashica T5 :). I've been eagerly waiting for this 2nd roll...

Roll shot in a flash before reaching home.





























Some odd, unwanted, effects towards the end of the roll, a kind of many-to-one relationship. I understand what happened but I really do not understand how it has happened. C'mon OM-1 stop making fun of me [Metered @ 40/50 ASA].

I had read many reviews about the Yashica T5 and saw hundreds of pics. I've been always curious to try this camera but its demanded price was always higher than I was willing to spend. A few weeks ago I've contacted a seller on a photography blog and I bought the camera for the reasonable price of 10€... just some scratches on the plastic body. I came out downtown the next morning for shooting the first roll and in less than an hour all the exposures were gone.

Run, run... Even if this trail caused me a skin reaction to the thaumetopoea pityocampa [it's a terrible continuous itching around the ankles] it was worth it. Alas the pics do not do justice to this place but it's all part of the game, pityocampa included ;).

I've found an Agfa Silette Vario Type 3 (~1958) film camera equipped with an Agfa Color-Agnar 45mm f2.8 lens at the usual flea market for the price of two cups of coffee and a good cream pastry. The camera was in mint condition but the lens very dirty, with plenty of fungus. It has been very easy to disassemble, clean and reassemble the lens but, alas, something has gone wrong and the first film roll has been a total [funny] disaster...
After quite a bit of research on the net I've found some useful information on the lens: it's a 3-element Cooke triplet type and I've realized I had put the inner lens in the wrong way. Loaded soon after another roll and after a bit of suspense here is the second roll.
