Moats Tye - Yashica D TLR
Taken with a Yashica-D Twin Lens reflex (TLR). It has a Copal shutter, with shutter speeds of 1 – 1/500. It provides a PC connector for flash sync; and because it uses a leaf shutter it is capable of X sync at all shutter speeds. Be sure to set the flash switch to the "X" position when using an electronic flash. The M setting is only used for flash bulbs (now hard to find).
Early models like mine were equipped with a coated three-element Yashikor 80mm f/3.5 taking lens, while later models had the higher-quality, four-element Yashinon 80mm f3.5 taking lens. Early models had a Yashikor 80mm f/3.5 viewing lens, while later models had a Yashinon 80mm f3.2 viewing lens. The last Yashica-D models were equipped with bright 80mm f/2.8 Yashinon viewing lenses; models with this viewing lens and the Yashinon taking lens are very desirable on the used market.
