Our Uncle, Our Money

Is he laughing?

Just a little test now that I know how to do a video (maybe).

It features a large bright viewfinder, built-in flash, and a fixed focus Canon 35mm f/4.5 lens (3 elements/3 groups). The lens cover release acts as an on/off switch, and the built-in flash allows for day and night-time photography, capturing clear photos with good color rendition. Uses (2) AA batteries (not included). Takes standard color negative and slide film capable of 24 or 36 exposures. Automatic film advance and automatic rewinding. DX coded for automatic setting of film speeds. It’s rare to find an unopened film camera from this period so it’s a perfect addition to your collection.

Happy SUNday!

Happy Sunday all! Here’s three classic Yashicas that are certainly worth the chase. The only one that I’d consider rare or hard to find is the pro-black body J-3.

The Yashica J-3 in black was never advertised as best as I’ve been able to find out after years of searching and for the most part flew under the radar in sales and marketing. Fewer than 2,000 were made (unofficial count) and few remain today in mint or near mint (working) condition. It was Yashica’s first black 35mm SLR until the TL Electro X in black came along in 1968. There were chrome versions of both cameras that sold alongside the black models. Conversely, the TL Electro X ITS (Integrated Technology System) was only available in black and featured the gold electron symbol on the pentaprism. BTW, the Yashica Sailor Boy advertising figurine pictured here is the taller 20 cm dealer model and no, he’s not naked.

Yashica’s advertising figurine, ‘Sailor Boy’ (1962).
