Yashica’s ghost of a camera. There’s not much out there on the web, in fact almost nothing. I do have the instruction booklet in case I ever find the camera.

From what I’ve been able to glean, it was produced between 1963 to 1965 (not sure on these dates). It’s got a rather strange name for a Yashica 8mm movie camera – closer to the Yashica-Mat TLR camera of the 1950s. In fact, the instructions give very little clues as to what type of film it takes – the first mention isn’t until page 9 of the instructions!

It was advertised as a pocketable 8mm camera with a CdS meter and a universal focus lens. Fully automatic exposure.

I do like its clean modern design. I’m thinking that it wasn’t around long before it was replaced by the zoom model since they’re almost impossible to find for sale.

Thanks for stopping by and if you have this camera please share some pics with me at ccphotographyai@gmail.com – Chris
