Image 1000...

To celebrate our 1,000th image here on flickr, we decided to post a special camera in our collection.

 

This was Yashima's first ever twin-lens reflex (TLR) camera that carries the 'Yashima Flex' name on its nameplate.

 

From 1954. This wonderful machine operates like new... a tribute to the craftspeople at Yashima and at Tomioka Optical.

Thanks, Chris and Carol
