My first analog photos, what are my impressions? Regarding metering and exposure, what can I improve? Any honest comments are welcome.

ML Zoom 35-70mm F/3.5-4.8 Lens C/Y















Lente Yashica ml 50mm 1:2

The exposures and the contrast look fine. Who did the processing, and how were these images created? They appear to have a reddish cast -- which might not be in the negatives. What film was used at what ISO?

I'm quite lost on your abbreviations...

Photos look good; color balance is off. Quite probably not a problem in the creation so much as in the scanning.

The ML was a line of Yashica lenses -- very nice -- that had the famous C/Y (Contax/Yashica) lens mount. Yashica lenses were made by Tomioka and the Contax lenses were made by Zeiss.

Scan: Noritsu LS-600
High Resolution: 51.2 x 34cm – 300dpi
Film: Lucky 200c (I photograph using ISO 160.)

I would assume the lab/scanner does not have a custom color profile specific to Lucky 200C, so they pressed into service a "similar" color profile for a Kodak film stock and it doesn't quite match. If you have a scanner, you might try to scan one or two and see if you get less magenta in the image, as it seems quite biased toward warm colors. Did you intend this?

Depending on the "look" you are going for, I would suggest you shoot a roll of Lucky at box speed to see if anything improves for you.
