Yashica Autofocus S and Kodak Tmax 100

Here is the Tmax 100 I shot with the yashica. I was complaining to stephanie that I needed another film body to carry around with me, for color film, and she arrived one day with this little beauty.  At first, I was squeamish.  I mean, point and shoot?  Really?  No control over exposure or focus?  Its like a perverse little Holga-thing.  But no.  It has a little focus button that does pretty well. It also exposes nicely, and the lens on the tiny bugger isnt bad either.  So, enough complaining. I shot this at 160EI and 200EI via the rotating exposure ring on the face of the camera. It seems do be damned accurate too.  Whether in tribute to the machinery of Yashica, or in detriment to my skills as a photographer, this is my favorite roll of Tmax 100 so far.  This particular tmax is about 11 years old having expired in 2000.  I was quite pleased, I hope you are as well. 

What I've learned so far...about photography

Well, I started out shooting CN400 'fake' black and white film, and moved on to 'real' black and white film at the end of 2009.  I've been making lots of photos, experimenting with development times/temperatures and developers.  I recently bought 2 C-41 process color film development kits and I have about 30 rolls of C-41 and E-6 film to cross process, process, bleach bypass and generally abuse.
  At the beginning of this odyssey, I was using the Massive Dev Chart at http://www.digitaltruth.com in order to achieve resonable starting times and temps for acufine developer, tri-x and Tmax films.  In the last year, Ive shot Kodak tri-x 400 and tri-x pan 400 ASA, Kodak tmax 100, 400, P3200 ASA, Ilford hp5+ 400 ASA, Ilford Delta 100 ASA, Ilford Pan F plus 50 ASA.  Ive also shot many rolls of color, but I'm not going into that presently.  I will say that I had alot of fun playing about with color film that I developed in acufine.  Most of that film was Kodak Ultramax 800 ASA, plus one roll of REI opticolor 200 ASA. (whatever in the world that is, probably Agfa film, or somesuch)

I am going to compile a list of Developing times and temps for all films that I have used, and will include them as I continue to post.
