Got a new beach cruiser bicycle – not really made for the sand but it’s a perfect around the beach town we live in. No hills!
3 speeds and a coaster brake – perfect beach bike! White with black chrome.
Great idea to post these. My little town thinks of everything!
The Yashica Pentamatic Fanatic playing with his toys. It took a long while to chase down some of these Pentamatic thingys – still some items to find. Ah, the chase!

This Yashica Pentamatic ’35’ is mated with an early (SN 927) Super Yashinon-R 135mm f/3.5 lens – made for Yashica by Tomioka Optical.
The Pentamatic with its sharp lines and prominent pentaprism, looks modern and vintage at the same time. It’s like holding a piece of chiseled steel in your hands and just as heavy!
