Let's see your Yashikor Tele-wide shots!

I know many loathe or overlook this auxiliary lens set, but so what. I just used my set, and I'm happy with it. Yes, they're bulky and not really tele or wide, but I found them fun to use and experiment with.

The shots were taken with fuji superia200. I shot it on iso400, and developed as iso200. Is this why the shots are a bit grainy?

Wide:



Tele:



let's see yours!

I have to confess that I've never used the wide and tele adapters, as they don't seem that effective, but your shots look good, so I'll have to try them out.
About your film, I'm not sure if I understand you correctly, but if you have overexposed by a stop, your grain should be a bit finer, unexposure on colour negative film will make it grainier. It is likely due to the incandensent lights on daylight balanced film.
Modern colour neg film is very tolerant of overexposure, and half to a full stop will make it finer grained. The way this works could likely fill a book, but briefly, this is how it works. There is a high speed and a low speed emulsion combined together in the film, so that when the film is underexposed the high speed emlusion is exposed, but when overexposed only the low (fine grained) is exposed. This is what gives this type of film its' great exposure latitude.

How long to get a shot off?

I like the first shot. I don't have the converters, from what I read on the web the entire process seems to take a while: first focus, then look at the conversion table and adjust the focus again. Usually how long does it take you to get a shot? If it's tolerable I might get a set for myself.

Hi filmnut,
I do suggest you try out those auxiliary lens just for fun or experimentation.
I actually did underexpose, which you explained will make shots grainier. I shot iso200 rated on 400 and had it developed normally, which I assume would be iso200.
