Wonderful play of light and shadow on the rocks, lovely glimpse of the ocean as a bonus. Are you still taking pictures with the Yashica-Mat?

John Sheldon replied to Bob Taylor:

No, Bob, I did not use the Yashica-Mat for many years. Dusting it off about 12 years ago I found that my eyesight could no-longer cope with it. I eventually sold it in 2017 and re-invested the funds in buying a Bronica ETRS.. The idea was to clean-up and restore the Bronica to full working order and then sell it on (doing this for fun, not for profit). I found a local camera company to help me deal with some sticky light seal I could not reach. However I still have the Bronica and am slowly putting some film through it!
