A unique pairing to be sure. This is the original MF-2 Super made by Kyocera in 1986, not the current model being sold by the “new” and not associated with the real Yashica company in China.
Sharp Yashica 38mm lens (3 elements, 3 groups).Includes the rare Yashica AM Receiver MF-2S which gets its power from the camera.
This is the last Yashica “Plastic Fantastic” still new in its original box in my collection. I’ve enjoyed collecting these neat Yashicas over the years but as I get older I realize the value of sharing my collection with others. It’s in my online camera shop hosted by Etsy at http://www.ccstudio2380.com.

It’s time to offer my last still new in its original box Yashica L AF to another collector. I still have three other L AFs to use but this is my last NIB camera.
I’ve blogged about this camera before and described it as an affordable alternative to the popular Yashica T3 Super and Kyocera T AF both of which have Carl Zeiss lenses.
Everything’s still factory fresh (even the original Sanyo battery is still unopened).It’s a good-sized camera with some heft to it – a nice feel in your hands almost small SLR-like.Sample image – Fujicolor Superia X-TRA 400Sample image – Fujicolor Superia X-TRA 400Sample image – Fujicolor Superia X-TRA 400Complete as pictured.

Fujicolor Superia X-TRA 400 color negative film (expired 2019-11). No post-processing. Scanned by the lab.
I’m very pleased with the results of my recent test roll through the Nikon. The One Touch AF3 (987) has a Nikon f2.8 35mm lens that’s been reported to be not quite as sharp as the original Nikon lens used in the first version of the camera, the Nikon L35AF. The autofocus was accurate and I’m pleased with the autoexposure of this image given the late afternoon sun and strong contrast of the scene. I’ll be testing the original L35 soon and I’ll be able to get some comparisons between the two.
Same roll of Fujicolor Superia X-TRA 400 film.
It would have been interesting to have shot with some of the new Kodak films but with the current price of film, I stayed with the Fujicolor. I’m happy with the Nikon’s performance. More pics to follow.

Just in time for your holiday shopping and gift-giving, I have another beautiful Canon AE-1 from my collection. This one comes with a sharp Canon New FD 50mm f1.8 lens. It’s been fully serviced with new light seals and a new mirror bumper pad and it’s been lubed to ensure that there’s no squeal or squeak from the mirror assembly (commonly known as shutter squeal).
The instruction book is also in mint condition. It’s one of the best booklets I’ve ever had with my Canons. Looks new!The Canon AE-1 is one of the easiest Canons made.I also have this one available in my shop.

A classic Canon accessory.Here is a very nice early version of this important accessory from Canon for the original Canon F-1.
Canon Booster T Finder for the Canon F-1 – Mint in Box w/ Leather Case, Connecting Cord, New Battery, Prism Cover – Fully Tested – 1 Owner
The Booster T Finder, interchangeable with the F-1 pentagonal prism section reads precise exposures with its electronic timer under extremely dim lighting conditions. It is effective for photomicrography, macro- photography, and when shooting indoors or night scenes where timed exposures are necessary.
It will complete as pictured. The leather case is in near-perfect condition as is the finder itself. The Canon connecting cord 6V 2B is also in excellent condition and is the correct cord for the finder. The finder is powered by an easy-to-find A544 6V alkaline battery which I’ve included.
This finder was a key part of my Canon F-1 collection that I’m now downsizing.
The case is in exceptionally nice condition.Mint condition.The battery test indicates all is up and running.The Booster T Finder replaces the eye-level pentaprism finder on the Canon F-1.Shown here with the standard eye-level finder removed from the original F-1.
If you’re interested in adding this interesting F-1 accessory to your own Canon collection then pop on over to my online shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com where I’m having a nice sale on everything at 10% off for a limited time. Thanks for stopping by, Chris

I’m always on the lookout (chase) for items to add value to my camera collection. Recently I purchased a super nice Minolta X-700 35mm SLR and Minolta 50mm f/2 lens from a local collector who swore he still had the original boxes that the camera came in. After much searching around his home, he discovered them packed away in a seldom-used Christmas ornaments box. The boxes are factory fresh since he put them away when still new.
Factory fresh!Includes the foam inserts.The outer shipping box is a bit rough but it did its job and kept the presentation boxes fresh.A body cap and a rear lens dust cap. An added bonus is the little plastic insert that covers the film pressure plate.
I don’t have the camera and lens anymore so it’s a good time to pass this set along to the next collector. If you are interested they are available in my camera shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com. Thanks for stopping by, Chris
