Nothing out of the ordinary there, ever since the obsession with old film cameras has had me checking the Vintage Camera section of eBay every day, it seems I find some old gem that I must have and part with some hard earned for an ancient beauty. I have talked before about this sudden <a href=\"http:\/\/toddnorburyphotography.com\/blog\/?p=166\">obsession with film<\/a> and how it has changed the way I look at photography. But for months now, I have been trying to grab a TLR camera. And last week, I made a successful bid on a Yashica 635 TLR camera. See below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"flickr-image\" title=\"New Old Toy\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/74294720@N00\/3025666984\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3004\/3025666984_40ed32a525.jpg\" alt=\"New Old Toy\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Wow. What can I say? The viewfinder alone is enough to send the pulse rate up. This version of the Yashica TLR also has a 35mm kit that lets you use standard 35mm film in it. Why you would bother is beyond me, but it does make it pretty unique in the world of TLR&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>I have just finished my 1st roll of 12 exposures (which by the way gave me an excuse finally to use the old Yashica light meter I bought ages ago). I expect I will develop that film over the weekend, but I don&#8217;t have a film scanner capable of scanning 120 film. Oh well, looks like its time to do some more ghetto scanning. If the camera works ok, I am even contemplating grabbing some colour 120 film and seeing how that looks. Exciting times for this mug photographer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday this week, a package arrived.
