Day107 - I'm gonna snap your picture.

Wednesday, April 16, 2008: My new camera: Yashica TL Electro.

I bought this camera on Ebay a week ago and it came today! I'm really excited!!!

Included was the camera body, 3 lenses (the Yashica lens, a fish eye lens and telephoto), a flash and this swank carrying case.

I am currently working on finding a battery for the light meter. The battery is not something that is readily available locally, so I ordered two online.

I can't wait to use it. I think that it's so good looking, mostly because it reminds me of a camera my mom had when were were growing up. Also, I am coveting this sucker right here (It costs more than my car, btw), and right now this is the closest that I can get to owning the body style.

The Yashica is supposed to have great depth of field which is why I bought it. I'll post the first pictures I snap with it in the future.
