yashica-d vs hasselblad 501c

i decided to put it to the test my old faithful yashica tlr vs my new hasselblad 501... so i used both on the shoot with terry to compare them... in the Hass i used new kodak portra 400 and the yashica it was fuji reala 100 ... not exactly a fair comparison but i've been doubting my new cvamera and was thinking of selling it. just because i probably only bought it for the label.

i've realised i need to shoot the hassleblad on a tripod for best results... the shutter so powerful it vibrates the camera in your hand.


the yashica is a bit hazy in comparison but that adds to its charm.

  1. To eliminate the haze, try a lens hood!

  2. its a twin lens reflex.... so no lens hoods available.... and it was shot in near darkness with fuji reala 100 ... i'm a fan of it anyway.

  3. Actually there are many lens hoods for the Yashika D that fit the taking lens. Just make sure to pick one that says Bayonet-1 or Bayonet Bay 1. You can even find a genuine Yashika lens hood but that would be much more expensive than the standard ones.
