Yashica D - Yashica - c1958/1974



It is so sad when you have an Yashica in your hands and people come saying "Ah ! it is a Rolleiflex !". Then they get closer and ... "Oh no ! it is not !". The visual TLR is so linked to the glorious Rolleiflexes that whatever comes in second or third place is simply not considered. This camera is a very good one. Ok! Rolleis were developed to each and every minimum detail and here the approach is a compromise between simplicity and price. But quality is not sacrificed as one could think at first. The lens Yashinon is a four elements comparable to Tessars. Body and controls are precise and long lasting and of course it is lighter than a Rolley.
