Post Milenyo Update

Wed Oct 11, 2006, 4:17 AM
Never expected a typhoon could do so much damage here in the Philippines.
Rosing was rated at a higher speed but Milenyo seems to have totally devastated the philippines.

Anyhoo,
Thanks to Chris Weeks, I have picked up a rangefinder and popped in some black and white film in it. (hence the black and white photos in my gallery)

Yashica Electro 35GS
Its no Leica
But it'll suffice
for now

Oct 21. Shooting the beautiful people of Planet Zips.
Thanks for the heads up Cat
Cat is purdy *blush*

Tomorrow is thursday.
to OWG? or to not OWG?
I'll ask Marton First.

May need to pick up some Kodak Portra from Sir Edwin of Kodak

I might grab a whole bag after I test out the sample roll

I hear the color reproduction of the Portra is sexy

like Jenny McCarthy sexy

No

Heidi Klum sexy.

Today, I got online after 2 whole weeks.

The storm rendered the already incompetent phone/dsl company even more... incompetent

Is that even possible?

Anyhoo, had to bribe a technician to stop by our place before heading over to the neighbors

I just couldnt wait

Loading up my yashica with more black and white

Cheers

Nothing has to be a leica :P to be good.

For example my Canon P I recently picked up is no Leica but many would agree with me that the Canon P was a better rangefinder than most of the Leica (screwmount) rangefinders of the time, (minus the lens of course). My Canon P is here : [link]

Far as that Yashica goes, I'm not 100% sure, but make sure it has fresh batteries or try to obtain a fresher battery. If its the same battery I'm thinking of, it will run you about 20 to 30$ for the battery. Aside from the outdated expensive battery, the electro were nice cameras, I just prefer cameras I can shoot with or without a battery.

chris weeks gave me the bug! i'm getting a yashica, after going thought the progression of thinking leica, no, zeiss, no, yashica, affordable ;)
