I like your Iskra

As for me the OP, I ended up sending the Kiev-60 back to Mikail and Olga, strangely it had a bad odor. I got a funky Yashica for free but it needs a CLR :



Have fun
Craig

Hello Craig
Don't try to use standard 1,5V battery. You can kill exponometer.
Regards

DVDM, he won't have to worry about that, no exposure meter. I just got the Yashica A
in the mail today with the same lens, (yours looks like it might be the D). Post some pics
when you get it CLA'd, Craig! ;o)

DVDM, s'okay, no biggie. Craig, I have extra lens covers for the Bay 1 on
your camera if you need them. They don't fit the A...

DVDM - I used yashikamat 124g for 2 years with 1.5 battery. nothing bad happened to my meter. I know about this theory, but in normal lightning conditions (i.e. daytime) it will not matter. In the nighttime I wouldn't use slide film anyway - digital is better for the night, IMO.

Craig, good luck with yashika, they make good pictures, especially when used with tripod
Yashica Mat 124G - a set on Flickr

Zardoz - I'm waiting for bessa I to arrive this evening. Hope it'll be in good condition

I have checked this theory at camera service. After 1 month using 1,5V battery we got -1,5 stops deviation
