I recently acquired a Yashica A (120) TLR camera, mint for (let's see now, for my bothers overseas...do the math, carry the 2, divide by the GNP of Liberia, divide by the inflation rate of Zimbabwe)..10 pounds.
It is without flaw, a little dusty which was solved with a gentle brush and some compressed air. The leather case has seen better days (anyone make repros?) but rather the case dinged up than the camera.
Film here (Illford ISO 100) is a whopping (again...math) 1.5 pounds, as is the processing. I regret I have no darkroom, which probably should disqualify me from doing MF photography, but perhaps in the coming summer months this shall be fixed...
...in any case, in dealing with the parallax viewing issue, is there some method, formula or somesuch that would help me to overcome or minimize this issue?
I'm totally hooked on this camera, simple as it may be. Although new to photography, (I've a Pentax K1000 and a Pentax *ist D) this little TLR is downright fun!
Tips, tricks, suggestions, are welcome.
I look forward to showing off all the horribly done pics real soon ;-)
Cheers! AD
