Yashica TL Electro X ITS | Chasing Classic Cameras with Chris

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.

Thanks for stopping by, Chris

Yashica TL Electro X ITS with Auto Yashinon 55mm f1.2 Tomioka lens.

The Yashica-Mat EM has a built-in exposure meter which can simplify shooting with these somewhat awkward cameras. The meter is powered by selenium cells so no batteries are needed. After 50 years most meters have stopped working but I’m lucky mine is still functioning.

The Yashica TL Electro X ITS is a wonderful camera period. Simple and straightforward controls and an easy-to-see and use exposure meter visible through the viewfinder. Here it’s pictured with an awesome Auto Yashinon 55mm f1.2 Tomioka lens.

If you’re on the hunt for a classic film camera to use then certainly check out either one of these. They’re both easy to find in online auction sites or maybe your uncle has one in his closet.

Thanks for stopping by! – Chris
