"New" Yashica, first roll developed

[handle2001]

I snagged this Yashica off ebay last week for $50:

I developed the first roll of film yesterday, my first ever roll of 120, and while most of the shots I took were test shots to figure out EI and confirm shutter accuracy, these two shots convinced me how much of an improvement 120 is over 35mm. I'm blown away at the detail and gradation even from this relatively low quality scan:

Not bad for a $50 camera!

I had a similar impression from a cheap agfa folder.

It's like the old racing saying....there's no substitute for cubic inches.

I've got a Yashica LM, that was thrown in with a 2nd hand Nikon, back in the 90's. The Nikon is dead, but the Yashica has become my favourite "walk around" camera. Get's lots of comments and admiration. Have fun!!

BTW:
It looks like you got a steal. $50 for a clean, WORKING, Yashica LM with leather case.
Congrats!
