Some of the Takumar M42-lenses I owned/own. Works great on my Canon EOS, of course :) And they are also very pretty.

Find a Film Camera for Under $50
I bought a kit with Yashica J-7 SLR with the lens Yashinon-DX 50mm f1.7 for about $22 on Tradera (swedish version of ebay) :)

By this time I was so excited that I bought the domain www.yashicaforum.com and wrote the review there! :) There are several large photos of the camera in the review, but I guess the first one is most representative:

Yashica J-7 and Yashinon-DX 50mm/1.7

Today I uploaded some colourphotos taken with the Yashica J-7 on Flickr. Some nice, but a lot of problems with noice and a lightleak (probably due to my poor handling of the camera in bad weather, and shooting the camera in heavy lights inside softbox). The film is some Kodak colour film 400 ASA from the local grocery store ;)

This is my new Yashica, I just have to show it of even if it’s just unpacked and not tested. The camera in it self might not be fantastic in it’s function but the lens is. And they always look soooo damn good! It was made in 1977, when I was 2 years old.
