Greetings from Canary Islands, Spain! I have a small Yashica ML's collection (the 50mm's 1.4/1.7/1.9/2, also 28mm, 35mm & 55mm f/2.8's and a 200mm f4 C. This morning I've just bought a 35-105mm, so the collection slowly grows  G.A.S. never ends. Due my attraction to these lenses I google from time to time searching from yashica information and usually I end here. After some years reading posts in the shadows I felt that now it was the time to say hello (and thanks) to all the people that shares information on this forums. Cheers, David |

Welcome to the forum damecla ... Although I've never been there, it's always seemed to me like a great place to be a photographer. I don't think I've ever seen a really bad picture of your home country - at least from the lifestyle, travel, and landscape shots I've seen over the years. Your growing collection of Yashica ML lenses should be a perfect fit for your location, and I can say with almost certainty that GAS is incurable once it's entered the bloodstream, and it's likely to get even worse over time! |

Thanks for your welcome! you must come here, best weather in the world Regarding G.A.S. yep, I know a bit about this... 9 Yashica ML's but +60 of other brands (Meyers, Pentacons, Olympus, etc) I've promised myself the 35-105mm (not yet received) will be the last one...  |

Welcome to the Forum damecla I envy you living in the Canary Islands; beautiful scenery and a lovely climate! The last time I was there was as a teenager back in the winter of 1965 and I lost my camera which I'd wrapped inside a T-shirt on a Lanzarote beach  . It was a memorable visit as I got to spend time with the people making a movie: One Million Years BC. How I wished I'd had that camera! I'm delighted to know that we've been of help to you on this little Forum; it's even better to know that you've been bitten by the Yashica bug! The ML 35-105 is a very fine lens and I hope one day you'll find the time to send us a few piccies taken through it. And as for G.A.S, well, it's not a notifiable disease (yet) so our recommendation would be to embrace it - there are plenty of excellent lenses and cameras left to try! |

Hi thanks for your welcome, sad to hear you lost your camera in Lanzarote  I'm shocked about One Million Years B.C., I didn't knew it was filmed here! I know what movie is, Rachel Welch look is iconic... but I think I haven't seen it, I MUST see it now! maybe I'll be able to recognize some places. If you were around during the making you are very lucky Yes, I'll post some pics soon!! Have a nice weekend |
