More from the Yashica A TLR

I got back another roll of film shot on my Yashica A, and I have to say I love shooting this camera. The whole experience of composing (which something I need to work more on with this camera), focusing and the whole act of shooting with it. I shot a roll of Ilford's Delta 100 which may be my go to film for this camera because of the limited shutter speeds on the camera, ISO 100 seems to shoot great and I love the look.

I have been working on using the "Sunny 16" rule lately for my film shooting and so far I am liking the results. I started using the Sunny 16 rule was because a lot of my cameras don't have built in light meters and pulling out my phone to use the app. I found takes me out of my experience. So far the shots I have been getting using the 16 rule on this camera, my Yashica Minister D (which although it has a light meter, it is uncoupled and not needed to use the camera and I haven't found a battery for it yet) and I have been using it on my Minolta X-700 even though it has a good light meter.

They Yashica A TLR has become one of my fave cameras to shoot with, it feels so retro, so analog and such fun to shoot with. I get a lot of looks when I am shooting with it, young people wonder what it is and old people smile because they haven't seen one in a while.

Here are some of the shots from this roll of film. The double exposure shot was an accident but I kinda like it.
