Finally developed a roll of color film I'd put in the little red Yashica FX-D a year ago or so. Was a little surprised to see it was slide film when I pulled it out, but this little camera gets along well with it, I think.

Classic Florida shot.

Classic cat shot (might be my favorite of the roll)

This one turned out nice, too. Just a little orchid I got at Trader Joe's last year.

Got this little gem from Mike E some years ago and it really has become my go-to film camera. Seeing these is kind of inspiring. Feeding it another roll of the Velvia.

Thanks for looking 8-)

Thanks! Yes, please do. Oh and I forgot to mention this is with the Planar 50/1.7 which is awesome.

Is that with the Planar? That lens is so awesome.

I agree that the cat photo is a real keeper. This would be a shot that I would enlarge and hang on my wall.

How is the body covering on the Yashica holding up?

I think Marlowe would appreciate having his portrait displayed on the wall.

Wine red covering is holding up beautifully- it's mellowed in color, but still looks great :thumbup:

Those turned out beautifully. Need to shoot some more slide film before it gets too hard.

Gotta get me one o' them Planars some day. And re-cover my FX-D. Some fine photos there, Rose.

Beautiful work there. The Planar is a great lens and it is in the right hands!
