Ian Bought a Yashica T4 !!

And then he took it to the beach and took it partying. We even took it body surfing..

Yashica started in Japan in the earlier part of the century with the initial investment of $566. They started making mechanical parts for watches. Within 4 years of precise mechanical engineering they introduced there first camera, the Yashimaflex. Sweet Lord, we would like one of those.

In 1992 the Yashica T4 multi-coated Carl Zeiss lens, fixed at 35mm hit the market at the budget price of 130 bucks. But it soon proved anything but 'Low End' ; "It was one of those rare moments in capitalist history when a business venture benefited the consumer almost as much as it benefited company." -http://collectivecamera.com/

WE GOT PROOF PEOPLE!! -JH

A young Analogue Loving Canadian Fella started work at the shop the other month.. I asked him to write an introductory for himself for the Blog.. So it goes...

"Descibed by my friends as just a deranged hippy, I'm just that dude who show's up... Thinks "this place is F@#k'n Awesome.... i'm staying'. " And then as soon as any questions appear concerning plans or the future or issues of general trife I'm usually just' like "TAH SON!" ..... problem solved.... among other things such as; good lamps and cereal i'm a boy of simple taste who enjoys things like tearing up rope swings, two-steppin', and gettin' straight up wibbley wobbly. That being said at the best of times my memory tends to have the worst of times, and i can't just have the good times i need to remember them, even if I'm written off. So turns out there's this thing called a camera, and if you take a pinch of emulsion, a twist of light, and a bit of thought you get mo memory pie! and there i find myself; living a life worth its weight in shiny ass diamonds and making sure at the end of the day i can prove it. Crush It."

So the guy's a nutter. But has gold personality and shoots enough film to keep Kodak in Business. Check more of his talent here. -jh
