Yashica TL Electro-X: A Hidden Gem From the Past
It's been a while since I made a video like this. This is a Yashica TL Electro-X a camera that's not widely known but it has some significant history in the camera industry.

Why I Didn’t Photograph the Eclipse + My Experience
zhlédnutí 56Před 4 měsíci
Firstly I do apologize for the vertical video, this was intended for Instagram Reels/Stories and CZcams Shorts but it was just too long so I posted it here. The Great American Eclipse was something to experience that is for sure. As a photographer I wanted to capture it but I decided not to and instead enjoy it. I did document a little bit of it with my phone but mostly just wanted to experienc...

Configuración???
I'm a Yashica fan boy. I'll have to pick one up.
Go for it! its a neat camera with lots of history.
Actually, the only good options are the round hoods because they let you use the original lens cap over them. All the others require special caps which are poorly designed (hard to use) and usually made of rubber. The problem with the round hoods is that they are not available anywhere in Europe any more, so, you should not throw away the plastic one that comes with the lens. It's not that terrible looking and it works fine with the original cap.
Good taste! Nikon rarely misses. Those FTns are awesome mechanical bodies, i love mine.
This is the only company where I can quickly get a QBM to L mount adapter without shipping from China. Is the inside of that coated with non reflective paint? From various Pholsy photos I've looked at, it seems like it isn't.This is a must but it's easy to do yourself. I have done tests with this and the difference is noticeable. A non reflective coating kills most reflections. I also wonder how accurate the flange distance is. Most of these adapters are short to allow faulty lenses to work which is a bad idea. Unfortunately almost all of these adapters are not made the way they should be and require altering.
I have two of these for different lens mounts for my Z mount and the inside of the adapter is flat black, it's not smooth, its ribbed like. But I used a flashlight and I don't notice any reflection. I think these are pretty good adapters, I never had an issue with them. I compared the lenses mounted natively and adapted and I couldn't tell much difference. But I am not sure about the QBM to L mount though. Hope this helps!
@@nerwin Yes, I noticed on their main page on Amazon that they coat the inside with non reflective. Since QBM to L is less common I couldn't buy K&F. However K&F have tiered out their adapters so that only the most popular adapters are the good ones now like how they used to make all of them. Maybe a blessing in disguise to test a different company if these Pholsy are better because they only have one range all the same build. I have ordered one. Next thing to see is if they wildly shorten the flange distance. K&F are often 0.1mm or 0.2mm short. That may not seem like a lot but it throws the lenses distance readings totally off.
@@nerwin By the way. QBM is from Rollei's 35mm SLR cameras. I've ordered quite a rare Schneider Kreuzach Xenon 50mm f1.8 in QBM because the M32 version is impossible to find. Rollei had a lot of lenses from Schneider and Zeiss which are actually very similar the Contax Yashica Zeiss. I have two of the Contax Zeiss lenses but now they have been hyped to insane cost. Rollei QBM is very under the radar and Schneider are underrated. A few of my favourite lenses are Schneider. I even prefer them over Zeiss but they didn't make that many different lenses and stopped photo lenses in the 70s. Their last versions in the 70s are spectacularly good. Now Schneider only make cine lenses. As for Yashica. A brilliant lens is the little 5cm f2 Auto Yashinon. Ken Wheeler (Angry Photographer) caused that lens to become very hard to find but it's available again.
@@ryanstark2350 Let me know how it works out!
If you want Contax Yashica Zeiss. The 28mm f2.8 Distagon and the 50mm f1.7 Planar are still good buys. The Distagon is a very good lens for landscapes. Very vibrant colours, especially greens. The 50mm f1.7 is their budget 50mm but very good. A little soft wide open like all Planars but beautifully smooth rendering. I think this lens is the best bargain lens there is considering the quality. The f1.4 variant is too expensive. The trouble now is that you can't build a set of Contax Yashica Zeiss because some of them are insane cost. Zeiss Classics are the way to go to build a set. If you get the ZF2 versions of those and have a Nikon, they are chipped so supply info to the camera if you have the F to Z mount adapter. The Classics are not cheap but if you consider the insane initial cost, they are now cheap.
Went into my local camera shop today to buy an F100 that they had and turns out it sold right before I got there. Ended up buying an N90 and I must say, wow! I’m very impressed with it so far. The viewfinder is a joy to look through and the 90’s styling is really growing on me. It also feels like a tank, in a good way.
@@avcle it's a really solid camera and often overlooked. I mean the F100 has some features than the N90s doesn't like selectable focus points and the ability to use AF-S in all modes along with VR whereas the N90s is limited in that regard. The biggest issue with the N90s is the sticky back haha, it's harder to clean than the F100. Something to be aware of with the F100 is the plastic door latch, they break. The N90s is metal 😎 The one I showed in this video I just sold it recently. I probably should have kept it but it wasn't something I was going to use much. It didn't deserve to sit in my drawer months at a time. Enjoy the camera man!
just got one, got half way through before realizing this vid is fresh! perfect timing, this is perfect
That's awesome! It's a neat camera, it's a chonk too! I appreciate you watching!
Nice collection 👌🏾
@@bryantdavonne21 thank you!! It's a start anyways.
That’s pretty cool
Thanks!
that shutter sounds so good
@@t_spana it sure does!
F100 prices are stupid! I just picked up my my z6iii and...I'm smitten.🤩
They are insane..not long ago you could get one in mint condition for $100. Now people want $300 or more and they have the plastic latch issue too. On this N90s it seems to be metal. Congrats on the Z6III. I couldn't justify to upgrade mine.
I don't trust eBay
It's not eBay you need to worry about, just the people. Find a reputable seller, like me, and you'll be fine. eBay has really good policies. I buy and sell a lot on eBay and rarely have any issues. But it was just a suggestion, wasn't telling anyone to buy from eBay, there are many second hand market places out there.
Nikon F4. All new vertical drop leaf titanium
Yep, that F4 had such a satisfying sound.
Yes. You got a good reliable camera. It’s everything the F801 was and some from the F5 tech added in.
Reliability is true. I mean this camera hasn't been powered in since the 90s and it works like new. It may not be as nice as an F100 or an F5, but it's heck of a lot cheaper haha. Kind of excited to run some rolls of film through it! Thank you for commenting, I appreciate it!
@@nerwin it is the the F100 of previous gen. It’s what pros used as a 2nd body to F4, F5. The body pro-sumer or enthusiast used who didn’t need the extra of the F4/F5. F100 was on same level just 3 yrs later & we would never get another pro-sumer body F-801 was its predecessor. The Baby F4
As someone who knows very little about cameras, this was a really interesting reel! I love the way you present your information, it's very clear and engaging!
Thank you! I really appreciate that. It's really challenging to fit everything in 60 seconds haha
What battery do you use in this? The original battery was a 6v silver oxide battery. 4SR44 batteries are common and easy to find but are 6.2v... idk if it matters
I use a Duracell 28L, it's 6V and fits perfectly. Meter works fine, the shutter works normal and it's accurate. I don't believe the .2v extra from them matters much. It might affect the CDS cell, but the timing of the shutter shouldn't be affected. However from my testing so far, the meter in mine is within 1 stop..I'm happy with that.
I miss film cameras
Still plenty out there!!
Do they scratch the discs
Not that I've noticed so far.
Do you think I should make more content on film cameras?
Yes, such a wonderful video; id love to see more
I'll have to make a more in depth video on this camera at some point.
Rip gpu
No harm done.
Love these cars. My grandfather bought one brand new. We still have it today.
I didn’t even think to do a Timelapse lol…maybe if it hits us again I’ll try one out! Love this Nick!
I'm sure it will happen again! You could always go to Norway 🤣
Beautiful!
Thank you!!
Sooo... 572 HEMI anyone?
Ane punya 1 mau jual
Didn't make too much effort finding a better spot ( Toronto got about 98-99%) but sadly it was cloudy got to see it at 80-90% before clouds rolled in.
There was an extreme amount of extra people in my small state, our roads aren't designed to handle that much traffic density. I had a great view at home so I didn't need to go anywhere to view it but would've surely liked to have enjoyed it with some friends rather than alone! But it was quite an experience. I'm sorry that the clouds ruined your view, it did started to get a little cloudy here but it wasn't enough to block it and it cleared just as totality hit. Sorry that you had to watch my really bad vlog video 🤣 - wasn't intended for CZcams lol. But it was too long for Instagram stories/reels or shorts and I don't have TikTok so figured I'd just post it here. Nice to hear from you Dmitry!
All good I think its an interesting topic for anyone when there are big events. Photography/Video of the event vs just being there. Found it nice having NO pressure with having results. I did take 1/2 snaps with the phone.
@@DmitryKoupriyanov I did the same, I didn't want to deal with the camera gear. Recording a bit on my phone was more than enough to document the experience.
302 or 460 ?
351 windsor!
Any issues with infinity focus?
Not from my testing, it's pretty much spot on.
I hope it sports at least an 8V-92 with an Eaton 13 speed transmission. 😄
my 3s is the same. wheel spin hangs the curser every time aswel. my mx 3 doesnt.
Screw valentines
My wheel was "scrapíng" the interior as you mention, but less, when in normal position, I did the test to turn it upside down, spin fast then turn again... and it was solved haha what gives...
damn didn't know Pete Davidson was into photography loil jk jk awesome video
I mean he does use cameras to make his videos 🤔 haha thanks for watching.
I have the same issue! I fucking hate the sound!!!
Maybe they're fake, that's why you don't find them on the website... I wanted to buy some black one, but I was kind of bummed that I could't find red ones! 😄 I don't know what people have with them, I like them better then the black ones!
They are on their website. B&H Photo doesn't sell fake products either. I think Peak Design should offer other colors as well. Let people choose what they want. I know a few people who would absolutely love green ones!
@@nerwin Ok, that's great and I agree about the colors!
I have both of the Fujifilm hoods (rectangle and round with slots) for my 35mm f1.4. I am currently using the round one with slots. Honestly, I didn't pay full price for them since I bought them with a, still wonderful, used lens. I do appreciate your honesty concerning your OCD, as the slight color mismatch would have been difficult for me as well.
When I had the X100V, I tried cheap hoods and it bothered me enough that I ended up paying the premium costs of ones from Squarehood. Much better! But I don't shoot Fujifilm anymore however it is nice seeing Squarehood branching out to other cameras. They even have nice hoods for Ricoh GR cameras now.
@@nerwinyes, but they don't have good lens caps for their hoods and it's a shame. The lens will be covered with dust after some months of use without a cap.
The Town be like, That's Too Loud! Man I ❤ it.
I have about the same noise issue with my new **MX Master 3S** for Chinese market. But the old one is good. So it's definitely a factory defect (bad сhinese assembly). Also if I don't scroll the wheel hard enough, it looks like it goes to free scrolling, but without actual triggering to free scrolling, and thus most of the scrolling is not triggered, ie ignored. So this results in fake free scrolling. ## And i found one thing: For anyone who has encountered this problem, I recommend a simple test: - flip the mouse upside down and spin the wheel. If the noise disappears - you need to disassembly the mouse, tear down the wheel and find a way to fix it back so that it presses better against the top of the mouse. In my case, if I flip the mouse over and spin the wheel - the noise and fake free scrolling is gone. This is indicative of a factory defect, the wheel mount loosens up quickly.
Looks tough will go hard
Glad I was in PD fanboy mode and randomly searching for PD anchor stuff on CZcams. I have hated the red (my least favorite color), even before I bought my PD gear. This makes me so happy. Thanks for sharing this. Curious, I took a look and they are available on PD’s website (at least now they are), as well as Amazon if you search specifically for black anchor links. Ordering now! 😁
I still use the old Nikon 35/2. Compact, well built. Good comparison. (: new sub
I agree,it looks really nice on the camera. I just ordered a Canon 5D1 and look forward to trying some of my vintage enses on it as well,the adapter needed is very minimal and small which I like in order to cut down on bulk
Sounds horrible
A great review of this adapter. Loved seeing the beautiful images you captured with this lens - thank you for sharing with us!
Glad you enjoyed my review! I should do a review of the film camera and share some photos from it. Waiting to finish up some film to get more develop so I can share color film instead of just b&w but I haven't been too inclined to shoot with it lately.
You skipped the install process in an install vid lmfao
Yup. It's an old vid.
nice video. nikon nation!
Thanks! Heck yeah man!
