The Mamiya was made between 1958 and 1962, and the Yashica was released in late 1957. They are both 6x6cm TLRs that shoot 120-roll films. The Mamiya weighs 1,596 grams!

My Yashica-Mat complete set is now in my camera shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com.

Yashica-Nicca YF, also known as the Yashica 35 ‘Fair-Way’ in Japan. This one is from August 1958.

Overlooking the wetlands outside my studio window.

I know Florida is almost unbearably hot and humid but I’ll take the green it supports any day.

Happy SUNday! – a sharp Panasonic Lumix from 2008

March 17, 2024March 17, 2024Chris and Carol 2 Comments

Here is another super nice digital camera from Panasonic – the Lumix DMC-FZ28.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28. A 10-megapixel bridge camera with an 18x optical zoom lens from Leica.

It is fun to use a digicam with a sharp CCD sensor for film-like images.

The Leica lens has a zoom range of 27 to 486mm (35mm equivalent).

Complete image stabilization in addition to the 18x zoom.

This fantastic camera is available in my camera shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com.

White-tailed deer (young buck) visiting my backyard NWF wildlife habitat.

I hadn’t seen a deer in my yard in the thirty-plus years that I’ve lived here. Part of my yard is wetlands with a small creeklet running through it and at times some small ponds form after heavy summer thunderstorms. This deer has been spotted around the neighborhood over the past two months – he has a severe injury to his right rear leg and for the most part, he can’t use it. Having said that, he looked healthy and responded to my presence. He doesn’t appear to be sick. There are coyotes in the area so I’m hoping he can stay ahead of the various predators and rut as this is the time of year for that in my part of Florida.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! – Chris
