Yesterday, I saw an article about the Yashica brand coming back. It really isn't-- except if you count an attachment lens thingie for your phone as a comeback. Anyway, all the Yashica talk just made me want to get up early to take out my old Yashica 35 (pre-Electro model) and admire this nearly 60-year-old beauty and snap a few photos of it. Here is one of the shots. It is really obvious that Yashica was "inspired" by the Nikon S and early Leica M body designs.

Shot with: Leica D-LUX (Typ 109)

f/9 @ 1/4 sec; 34mm; ISO: 3200

Yashica's first M42 mount SLR.

This is alternative composition of "Texture" theme.

Just picked up this for $20. It's a 1973 Yashica Electro 35 GTN with a 45mm 1.7 lens. It's built like a tank and so fun to shoot with. I recommend this for anyone wanting to get back into film.

Vintage ad from Asahi Camera Yearbook 1959. This looks like it was released just before the Yashica-Nicca 35 YF and just after the Yashica YE was released.

I've never figured out who this guy was. Any guesses? No, Mr. Banks from Mary Poppins is a good guess but I don't think so.

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

Gorgeous Yashica-Mat 124G from around 1984. Still just about new - fully tested, new light seals, crystal clear optics. This has the built-in coupled CdS light meter which is accurate. The Copal shutter is accurate at all speeds even Bulb. This is from my personal collection and available in my shop at www.ccstudio2380.com

Yashica's first 35mm SLR with the M42 screw mount. Yashica abandoned their exclusive Pentamatic mount after just 3 models.

The shutter release button was moved downward just a bit to accommodate a clip-on exposure meter. Still no built-in self timer.

Still a wonderfully rugged camera and with the new mount for the lens it opened a whole new world of lenses for Yashica.
