Yashica TL ELECTRO X ITS... 1973

Purchased new in Okinawa in late 1973. One of our "many" favorite Yashicas. The Tomioka Optical made lens (owned by Yashica in 1973) is super sharp and kinda fast at f/ 1.4.

 

I enjoy using my "older" Sony camera for shots like this. At only 10mp it adds some softness to what would normally be a "hard edged" image lacking depth.

By the way... ITS stands for... 'Integrated Technology System'
