Okay, so, for the newbie to lightroom here, i've got the grad filter up, but dont know where to go from here in how to make it less flat. I have decided, despite not wanting it in black and white, it will stay that way as I dont want to edit too much (it is film after all :D ) and with the grad...

Thanks very much for all your help,im pretty new to lightroom! I think the thing that is bothering me is that sky. it's boring and flat (it was at the time) but I do like the fact the tree is centrel, it was the look I was going for :D I just dont know what to do about that damn sky.

A while ago I went for an outing and took a few snaps, only just got my film developed. With this particular photo I wish it had been color but I only had b and w loaded...so made do. Onto editing, I am stumpted. It needs a little something, but what? CNV00011 (1) by Kabooi, on Flickr

The only lens which fits on my fm2 is my nikon 50mm 1.8D lens. I really want the 105mm AIS as my next buy:D

Thanks for the comments, guys. The film was ilford xp2, :) i ALSO have the FM but it's broke. Ha. i love number 2 as well, shame about the black fuzz at the bottom (I think its my dressing gown)

The man is so, so lovely, and we spoke over the phone today. I've decided to go ahead on the swap (straight swap) Oddly the camera has started firing again, but I dont think the speeds are accurate. And I would like something a bit more reliable.

The kind person got back to me and has really, really apologised and has offered me another yashica D, with the newer lenses. I dont really know what to do.

The person was lovely, we had lovely chats about cameras and dogs, he said the shutter speeds werent accurate on the lower ends and then just before sending said he wasn't happy with it, so got it fixed. He said it was perfect. The focusing knob seems quite loose though I dont know if its...

I purchased a yashica tlr d from ebay. I knew it had problems with the lower shutter speed and the person was lovely, and wasn't happy about sending it, so got it fixed (somehow) I got it today, and low and behold, it broke on me. The shutter wont fire at all now. Absolutely gutted and now...

Hope you guys are right as I just bought it, lol

I have the option of buying a yashica D for £65 in excellent condition. Though my heart was set on the yashica 124g, and that has a light meter. Optically, they are the same though, right?

Thanks for the replies, guys. If I werent tight on money I'd go for it, but after looking at the prices, I may have to pass :eek: Regarding cleaning it, how do I go about it?

My results werent great and im quite upset, really. First, I knew they wouldn't be amazing as I couldn't focus and found it hard. But the film developer I used got finger prints over my negs, did bad scans and didnt do half of my roll. The pictures are so saturated and dirty I just want to cry...

**** me, those are great. I have been wanting that camera for an age. Bought a bronica, with the intention of the yashica 124g as my next purchase. just saving. Worried about ebay though,
