Hi All,

Been fooling around with mostly toy cameras for 6 years or so. The last couple of years have seen me graduating to rangefinders, usually a Yashica GS or a Canon QL17 and home developing (which I have struggled with to be honest) . This year I have decided to get more involved in the irish photo community to improve my skills.

Welcome to the site Eric !

I have a Yashica Electro 35 GSN which was kindly given to me by one of the members. Lovely camera.
Regarding developing – practice makes perfect :)

Hi Mark.

Thanks. the Yashica 35 is a lovely (if somewhat heavy) camera. I have two, one I found in a second hand shop that had the lens snapped off which I am attempting to slowly repair. The other I got in a thrift store in Nebraska for $12. I had been wanting one for a while and you should of seen the smile on my face when I walked out of that shop.
