These pictures make me think I should dig out my Yashica Electro. The lenses on those cameras were among the sharpest ever made, I think.

Interesting place to burn a few rolls. I am puzzled byt the orange filter, no blue sky and clouds?

I wanted to see if it increased the contrast I got from the first roll I ran https://flic.kr/s/aHskqJjneQ Julio. And on a cloudy day, it will help with sky detail.

I had to do much more work on the first roll due to exposure faults, and likely increased the contrast when I did. It seems to have helped using the orange filter on the second roll, though I also believe the metering system to be way more accurate on the Yashica than on the Olympus.

Thanks for the explanation, PF. I used red filters to increase contrast once or twice. As said, that is an excellent lens.
