My first SLR was a Yashica Electro-X, for which I had the M42 lenses, later I used Yashica lenses on a first generation Contax RTS, now I'm using the 55 macro for any close ups I want on the Canon 20 D Nearly all these flower pictures were taken with the Yashica. http://gallery.leica-users.org/album150 A particularly good example is this one(which also shows how dusty my office gets) http://gallery.leica-users.org/album150/MG_1348_CY_f8_edited_3 So was the frog http://gallery.leica-users.org/New-Old-Pictures/Frog_edited_1 Full(ish) frame http://gallery.leica-users.org/New-Old-Pictures/Frog_cropped_1 Centre crop Don't hesitate to buy Yashica, IMO, they are among the best of the lower priced second-hand lenses. cheers Douglas Philippe Orlent wrote: > Did anybody of the LUG shoot with these, and if so what were your > experiences with it? > > Thanks, > Philippe > > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information > >
