Yashica brochures in my camera shop. Let’s make a movie!

Chris and Carol Leave a comment

I’ve just added some hard-to-find Yashica sales brochures and instruction booklets in my camera shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com.

Probably one of the most popular Yashica cameras ever made.
Yashica movie camera brochures are often difficult to find.
This was a very sophisticated Super 8 camera, as good as any made during that period.
A popular movie camera of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Thanks for stopping by, Chris

Yashica Electro 35 – 1966

Chris and Carol Leave a comment

Yashica’s first electronically controlled camera (aperture priority) jump-started Yashica’s role in electronic photography.

This one is from 1968 and features the <E.P> mark on the cold shoe indicating that it was likely sold at a US military exchange store and was tax exempt or “Exempt Purchase”.
Super sharp and fast Yashinon-DX 45mm f/1.7 lens.

It’s a very handsome camera representing the best of Yashica’s design team for that period. The Yashica TL Electro X wouldn’t have been developed without this groundbreaking camera.

The later enhanced version (gold contacts).
And the sexy all-black “Professional”.

Thanks for stopping by, Chris
