Contax 139 quartz and a few images

[truls]

From fault-bay, a Contax 139. I think there are too many faulty cameras on the bay. Anyhow, it is working like new apart from adjusting ASA to 400 when shooting 100 film. I think it is a very capable camera, small in size and fast in practical use. I might send this one for a CLA somewhere. Here a few test shots - Fomapan 100 film in Fomadon LQN. Strangest thing, the film cartridge says 5-6 min developing, the developer 7-8 min, at 20 celsius (68F). I did 5 min 30 sek, turned out nice. Also, I think I might need a Planar or Tessar 45/2.8. Test shots with Yashica 50mm 2.0, not a bad lens at all. Some of you might have infected me with some Yashica bug

The setup for doing the images:


Here a shot of the small village I live in outside the main city:


The cloudberries are coming:


Some small flowers I don't know about, but the film renders black and white well:

Looks very similar to the Contax RTS that I had.

Yes the Yashica ML lenses are really capable image makers. We most have countryside here, but one day I will drive into the city making some pictures. When testing newly arrived gear our landscape is the most easy way to take some snaps.
