Hi all, just bought my first TLR!!! It is a late model Yashica Mat. It has the 2.8 viewing lens. I am so stoked. I have some ilford 400 waiting to shoot!

Welcome to the forum idahophotoman and congratulations! I don't know what level of experience you have with TLR's or cameras in general, but if you have questions as you go along, feel free to ask. If you didn't get one included, here's an online link to the manual... www.butkus.org/chinon/yashica/yashicamat_m/yashicamat_m-splash.htmSince you're planning on shooting with it, I'd suggest one simple accessory. A bayonet mount, Bay 1 lens hood. Any maker's version or even a brand new all-plastic copy should work, but I've heard that some Rollei models can be slightly off and don't fit right. A hood can optimize the contrast and clarity of the lens. It's also a good idea to have a spare spool. If you want some deep details on any Yashica TLR, I'd always suggest browsing Paul Sokk's website at yashicatlr.com |
