Even with an average 6x6 you'll get interesting results compared to any
35mm. BTW "Yashinon" lens is more or less like a "Tessar" or "Xenon" TLR
lens, while "Yashicor" is so-so. But the particular flavour of a 6x6 shot
is a reality. It is not only grain, sharpness, gray levels... is a kind of
"space"... the subject pops up out of the print (or screen).
