Good photos! What camera did you use?
Originally posted by cooltouch Strange why you're not seeing the images. I just checked again, and I see them just fine in my browser.
I believe "EM" stands for "electronic meter" and, if I recall correctly, this was Yashica's first TLR with a meter. Since it has the Yashinon, I'd have to say that it should be a great picture-taker. And yes $50 is an excellent price for it if it is in good condition, especially if the meter works. Even more especially if the meter is accurate.
It's really strange because I can see your photos on my mobile phone.
As for the Yashica Mat EM, it turned out that its shutter isn't working properly. That was the reason of such a small price in spite of the very good looks.
Originally posted by Swift1 FWIW, those examples were from a Triplet and a Xenotar, not a Tessar.
The Tessar type lens is probably the best bang for buck in TLRs, so a Yashinon equipped EM would be a great camera.
It was my miswriting, I got it.
Originally posted by Nesster I'd add a mention of the Minolta Autocord - a really nice camera, I prefer mine to the 124G...
Though the prices have gone up, the Ricoh Diacord has a great lens - I have the meterless model, which I prefer - and though it lacks auto shutter cocking, you get easy double exposures in exchange. A really nice lower price alternative to the Yashicas
Thank you, I'll take a look at these cameras too.

Another camera worth looking at is the fuji GA645. It's like a giant point and shoot (with an awesome lens). I was scared of all the fiddly film magazine stuff with MF so I went with the Fuji to dip my toe in. Still love that's camera.
I have heard about GA645 before but it's widest aperture of f4.0 isn't appealing to me.
You also missed to mention your scanning technique
Originally posted by AtitG I wonder if the k-3ii, with its pixel shift technology, will work well as a slide/negative copier.
Yes, it'll be be very interesting to find it out.
