Happy SUNday! – Wonderful Yashicas

September 6, 2026September 6, 2026Chris and Carol Leave a comment

A Yashica TL Electro-X ITS, purchased new in 1973 in Okinawa, Japan. I’m the second owner.

I keep it in new condition, mostly on display.

The original Yashica TL Electro X is on the left, and the enhanced ITS is on the right. It’s mostly a marketing move rather than any real changes.

This brochure features the famous Auto Yashinon 55mm f1.2 lens made for Yashica by Tomioka Optical.

I have another of my beloved classic Canon F-1 cameras available at my camera shop: http://www.ccstudio2380.com. This one is from late 1977, and it’s a gem.

I fully test all of my cameras. Not only does this one look new, but it also operates like new too.

The pro-black finish is in gem condition.

One of the best 35mm SLR cameras ever made.

Stop by my Etsy camera shop and check out this and the other classic collectible Canon cameras I have available.

Being random.

AI can play make-believe with the best of them. ChatGPT. My head isn’t really that big.

Playing with ChatGPT this afternoon. Thought I’d feature my Asahi Pentax 6×7 medium format camera in a different light. The original.

So, do you use AI to slightly enhance some of your original images? I’ve found ChatGPT to be quite creative when closely supervised. Like anything, it can be abused.

You can’t take my picture. You got the lens cap on.

A small collection of recently enhanced images from my time in Japan in the late 1970s. All were taken with my Canon F-1, Canon AE-1, or my Yashica TL Electro X.

I have my last Canon AE-1 Olympic 35mm SLR camera set for sale. It’s been fully serviced and is ready to start again with another collector. Visit my shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com.

Canon AE-1 1980 Olympic Winter Games at Lake Placid set.

I also have my Canon New F-1 camera available in my shop.

I just added this classic Nikon camera strap. It’s still made in Japan by Nikon.

It’s a rather rare strap, *For Professional*.

An ad for my camera shop with the help of AI.

Canon EOS 30D with a Canon EF 50mm f1.4 Ultrasonic lens.

On an APS-C sensor DSLR like the Canon EOS 30D, a 50mm lens has an effective focal length of about 80mm.

Here are just some of the items I have in my camera shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com. Many of the items are still new and come with their original boxes. I test everything in my collection so you can be assured that it will arrive in a fully working condition.
