Glazers Camera had a photowalk at Seattle’s Pike Place Market, and I brought a Yashica-A I’d picked up recently for $60. (How could I NOT buy that?) The camera was from an antique store on Vashon Island. The owner said her uncle had bought it in Japan, I think. It works perfectly, and has a nice leather case.
I brought it along to the film meetup to prove that it works, so I can sell it. Kate recently suggested that I should sell some of my cameras. 🙂 Although its a great camera, I also have a Yashica-Mat EM, so why would I need both?
The meetup was well attended. We wandered around the market, then down to the waterfront. Mostly newbies.
I was metering with a phone app. Developed at home in Diafine.
I think I’m not agitating enough. Those dark spots in the sky & on the left. 😦
This guy was making a video about his spray paint art.
It was a fun evening.

Nice images. I was there last July. My brother teaches at U. Puget Sound….

As someone who recently sold off/gave away a majority of my cameras, having two of the same basic camera is silly. But take both the EM and the A out, shoot them both for a month, see which one ‘speaks’ to you more, then sell the other. Wishing you luck as someone who dropped from 30 cameras to 10.

Hmmmmm, need isn’t always the question. Sometimes it’s just nice to have two (or more) similar cameras. The Yashica-A for $60 is worth keeping on the shelf. Read more here: http://schneidan.com/2015/05/04/yashica-a-tlr-camera-when-really-simple-is-really-good/
