Yashica LM - 1957
An old favorite of mine. This one was made by the good folks at the Yashima factory in Shimosuwa, Nagano Prefecture, Japan in about mid-1957. The serial number, 119xxx puts it in the early first stages after a slight upgrade to the original design from late 1956. This one has a built-in exposure meter on the camera's left side and the "light gathering window" is located under the nameplate. The shutter and focus are spot on and the meter appears accurate. Looks like this one gets a roll of 120 film in it shortly to fully test it out. To learn more and to explore more about Yashima/Yashica, please visit www.yashicasailor.boy.com
