I like this camera - I worked with such a Yashica approx 15 years for a newspaper ;-)

I have one of these passed down from my Father. The first camera I used and processed the B&W negatives and prints in our basement.

Location
This Photo was taken in my home using a very basic studio set upTime
this was taken in the morningLighting
it was a nice bright day, the sun was shining through the lounge window, so the was easily adjusted by opening and closing the blinds.Equipment
I was using my Nikon D7100 with the 18-140 nikon zoom lens and natural light the camera was mounted on a tripodInspiration
I wanted to build a collection of photographs of camera's managed to borrow this Yashica which had to returned within a couple days so time was limitedEditing
yes post processing was done using paint shop pro, original background removed and replaced by this oneIn my camera bag
normally i carry my nikon dslr with a couple of len'es a wide angle zoom and a medium range zoomFeedback
always try to think about what you want to achieve, take the photo twice once in your mind and then with the camera when the two are the same hopefully you have success
