Yashica FX-3 - Yashica Lens DSB 50mm 1:1.9
I got this camera about two months ago. I looked really bad, and still does. But the shutter fires and the meter moves.
So I put a B&W roll and start to shoot. But as you know, life has it owns turns and I could not continue to finish that roll and develop it. So I will try now to work on this now while the Voigtlander lens is in waiting mode.
Step-up or step-down ? That is the question
When talking about adaptor for a filter to a camera, we have to be clear on the direction of the adaptor.
O bien, que lado tiene rosca macho y que lado rosca hembra... not a trivial issue, even worst in this day and age.
The camera have a female trading and the filter has a male threading. A step-down adapter will screw into the camera and leave a smaller diameter female thread for a smaller filter.
It turns out that I bought the wrong adaptor... porca miseria!
Questo qua clarifica la cosa: Filters...
Done. I ordered the correct adapter from AleExpress for $2.28. Now we can forget for about a month of this project until the correct part arrives.
