Testing a Yashica TLR Camera After 55 Years in Storage

Far better than I expected from Lomography. The writer shows a bit of knowledge, as he purposely picks out his subjects for what the scenery will give him in his quest for testing the DOF of the camera. His father must have also instilled in him a sense of what makes a photo good, instead of just aiming it any old direction.

The camera must have been stored in a very climate controlled area, as Seattle is not known for dry weather. The lubrication in the lens has not migrated to the shutter, and the lens elements themselves have not hazed over. Hard to believe it sat for 55 years.

It certainly has that Yashicor look though.
