I finally got around to testing the camera a bought on eBay a few years ago for $5. It is an old Yashica Lynx 14. It is a rangefinder type camera and has very limited features. You have to guess at your distance to the subject to set the focal length because the viewfinder is offset and doesn't go through the lens. Needless to say, there were several blurry images, but I thought these three turned out really well. Actually, I only scrapped four images from the 20 or so that I took. I like the bokeh this camera has and I think the vibrant color gamut in most of the images is appealing. Not bad for a vintage camera.
