One month with the YASHICA MG-1. GOODS & BADS 

I think the points you raise are sound, the resultant photos are good, I don’t know how many failures you had, but I think like you comment and it’s true of any camera, that the more you use the more it becomes you adapt, two things that are enviably on a camera, are flexibility and good results, the balance is small. So as you got good results and you catalog the ups and downs I think for its age and ease of use, this can be a plus, it looks good for a rangefinder.

Nice video!! Are you Brazilian?? How did you get into film photography? I found your channel because I was researching some film photography and found the Yashica MG1 and was interested to learn more. Keep it up the great work on these videos.

I just purchased a Yashica MG-1, I found your in depth review to be very helpful and insightful. I am excited to use this camera despite some of the limitations you mentioned, overall seems like a fun camera to use. Great photos you took as well! Thank You for your video, peace and love from California :)

Thanks bro. Great coverage of the MG-1😀

Thanks for the ins and outs about this camera I'm tempting to buy one I saw

I always appreciate your direct and honest opinion. You did not mention the quality of the lens. From the photos it looks quite OK, but what are your thoughts? When I started with film photography I bought the Yashica 35-ME. A very rudimentary camera. I ended up buying four because I liked it but was afraid it would break down easily. Years on I am still shooting with that same battered version I bought first 🙂 The lens of this camera is far better than you would expect, as is the metering. It gives me great results.

Hi, Thanks for the review 😀 I have a MG-1 at home but I never used it because today's batteries doesn't fit (I think it needs an old 5,6V Hg Battery). Do you adapt it to a 6V Battery and if so, do you have an 'offset' with the lightmeter?

Loved the color shots starting at 12:18. Can I ask, what film you used here?

just bought one, would love more videos about this. will it fit any 35mm cartridge?

Probably you have to put a tape around the ISO selector. --- with my current russian camera, I use sunny 11 rule :)

Very honest description of the Yashica MG-1. Noticed that you have a lot of children in your photos: did you have permission from these kids' parents to photograph them? Thank you.
