	Yashica / Contax lenses - Camerapedia.org
		Yashica and Contax manual-focus lenses with a common bayonet mount were introduced in 1975 simultaneously on the Contax RTS and on the Yashica FX-1.
		The Yashica range of lenses included a premium range of lenses for the more serious photographer (termed 'ML' or 'MC' for multi-coating), while consumer SLR cameras were usually equipped with 'DSB' lenses, which had single-coated optics.
		Yashica already had a reputation for fine optics dating from the early 1960s with its optics supplier (later subsidiary), Tomioka Optical, and is also believed to have benefited from its licensing and manufacturing relationship with Carl Zeiss.

	Yashica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Yashica FX-3 with a 500mm mirror lens.
		The Yashica Pentamatic, an advanced, modern 35mm Single Lens Reflex (SLR) camera with a proprietary bayonet-mount and interchangeable lenses, was introduced in 1959.
		Yashica soon introduced several new 35mm SLR cameras beginning with the FX-1 (1975) and FX-2 (1976).

	Yashica Electro 35 GSN
		The Electro 35 GSN was released in 1973 by Yashica.
		The Yashica GSN traces its lineage to the Yashica Lynx of 1960 (actually the Yashica 35 of 1958 is earlier, but the family resemblance is further).
		Yashica became a subsidiary of the Kyocera Corporation in October of 1983.

	Yashica TLR FAQ
		The Yashica TLR's seem to be a quite popular topic for discussion these days, and I have received a number of e-mails regarding them.
		While I don'e quite agree that the Yashicas are in the same league as Rollei (nor would anyone else who as handled both), their reputation as good entry-level medium format cameras is well deserved.
		Consider that you can find a Yashica D for $125 or less and that the Yashica A can be had for $50 or less, and it's easy to understand why people give them serious consideration if budgets are a concern.

	Yashica Electro 35 G Series specifications
		A major Yashica innovation was a unique automatic all electronic stepless shutter, the speed of which is controlled by an Electro-Magnet.
		When the Yashica strobe model ES-20 is mounted on the camera, with an ASA setting of 100 and the aperture is at ƒ 4.0, automatic exposure is enabled to a subject distance of 16 ft. [ 5 meters ] utilizing the camera's light sensor.
		A feature exclusive to the GL and GX in the 'G' series Yashica rangefinder cameras, is a roller the the left side of the pressure plate in the door.

	Yashica Finecam S3 Digital Camera Review
		The Yashica Finecam S3 is small and light and includes a very small and very light lith-ion rechargeable battery.
		Yashica provides no explanation of why or what software they are bundling with the Finecam S3.
		Yashica S3 is stocked by Adorama, a retailer that pays photo.net a referral fee for each customer, which helps keep this site in operation.

	[rec.photo.equipment.35mm,rec.answers] Yashica SLR FAQ
		The brand Yashica Yashica has been around since 1957, and some old camera's, especially the twin-reflex camera's for the medium format, are still quite popular.
		Yashica has been making 35mm cameras for a long time; the current line started with the introduction in the 70's of the Yashica/Contax mount (which we'll call the Y/C mount from now on) that is still in use.
		Most Yashica bodies are manual focus, except for the 200AF and 230AF which come with a small range of lenses (and as they don't appear on the Yashica corporate Website anymore, I take it they discontinued it).

	Yashica 44
		The Yashica 44 comes complete with a self-timer, whereby the same caveat applies as with its bigger sisters: make sure the M/X lever is set to "X", or you'll bugger the mechanism up.
		Not a Rollei, no, but Yashica was perfectly capable of building excellent quality TLRs, had plenty of practice at it, and it certainly shows with this particular model.
		The Yashica 44 is no exception, but has at least the advantage of taking up very little space in your camera bag.

	CameraHobby - Yashica FX-3 Super 2000 Review
		Another reason for wanting to like the Yashica was for its ability to mate with the very fine and expensive Carl Zeiss lenses made for the Contax line of camera bodies (as big a point as this is, it was not a big selling feature for me).
		But of course the Yashica is also a budget priced item and I wouldn’t expect the Kyrocera engineers to put too much into dampening the action (the F90x is not budget priced and I have no idea why Nikon didn’t dampen it more).
		The Yashica FX-3 is a current model that is lighter and probably just as strong as the EX Auto but in feel and operation, it gives up a lot to the near three-decade old unit.

	YASHICA HALF FRAME CAMERAS
		(1961) Yashica's first half-frame was a vertically-styled camera, similar in appearance to the Taron Chic.
		In 1965, Yashica modified the original Half 17 and created a model called the YASHICA HALF 17 RAPID since it uses Agfa Rapid cassettes.
		It is nearly identical to the Half 17 with the same lens and most camera features, but the body is about a quarter of an inch longer to accomodate the RAPID cassettes.

	Yashica Electro 35 GX
		The Yashica Electro 35 GX is a small coupled-rangefinder, leaf-shuttered 35mm camera with aperture-priority automatic exposure.
		This camera replaces the Yashica Electro 35 GSN that I've been using for casual street photography.
		With the Yashica G series, as you focus closer, the viewfinder gridlines actually move to compensate for the amount of parallax.

	Yashicamat
		I had that Yashica on the shiny leather front seat of my old Volvo, and was on my way to take some photos (somewhat ironically) of the place where my first wife had just had a minor traffic accident in her own car.
		It's a great pity that Yashica discontinued this camera, but it had such a long production run that they would have had to completely retool their factory to carry on building them.
		Alternative offerings included the Yashica D, the Yashica 635 (designed around a 35mm adapter like the Rolleikin, making this a multi-format camera), and several other nice TLRs before this, their final offering.

	Shooting Nature with the Yashica Mat 124G
		The Yashica Mat does not have a bright viewfinder image, especially when compared with a Rollei TLR, but I found that by flipping up the magnifier I could easily compose and focus even in low light.
		The Yashica Mat seems to be as sharp and contrasty as the Canon 50/1.8 prime lens, and noticeably sharper than the Tamron 28-200 zoom my wife insisted I buy.
		Our school had several Yashicas, Mamiyas and a Rollei or two and I believe I got to use each and every one of them, though I cannot recall which models they were.

	Matt's Classic Cameras: Yashica Electro 35 GSN
		The Yashica Electro 35 (of which the GSN was the last, you can spot it by the hot shoe) was revolutionary for its time, being the first camera with fully electronic automatic exposure.
		Problems with these old compact rangefinders are 1) the foam light seals have all disintegrated and need to be replaced, not too hard for the enterprising DIY-guy and 2) they often use batteries that are hard if not impossible to come by these days such as the 5.6 mercury battery the GSN wants.
		Luckily for us there's the Yashica Guy who sells a patent-pending adapter that fits exactly in the battery compartment and allows the use of a current model battery.

	Yashica A Twin Lens Reflex Camera
		This Yashica model A Twin Lens Reflex camera is a nice example of these popular earlier Yashica TLRs.
		From: "Roland" roland@rashleigh-berry.fsnet.co.uk Newsgroups: rec.photo.equipment.medium-format Subject: Re: Yashica TLR lenses Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2003 The model A shuld be pretty good since nearly all of them are fitted with the Yashikor lens.
		I have the original Yashica Model A, which is, I believe, Yashica's first TLR model.

	Amazon.com: Yashica T4 Compact 35mm Camera w/ Zoom Kit: Camera & Photo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Yashica 35mm Camera — Unbiased Recommendations From Consumer Reports.
		The lens is a Carl Zeiss T* lens as in the Contax range (Contax, Yashica and Carl Zeiss are all owned by Kyocera Corp.).
		The new Zeiss lens is superb, though it may lack a little of the Tessar's sharpness (I'm not sure why the lens is designated a Vario Tessar as opposed to a Vario Sonnar, which would make more sense, but I will leave this aside to those more familiar with Carl Zeiss lens lore.).

	Flickr: Yashica Mat
		I agree that looking through the Yashica viewfinder is a thrill in and of itself.
		I think that, in a way, the Yashica is much more simpler to use than all the buttons I have to push on my Nikon D70s...
		I have a Yashica-A, so it doesn't have a fresnel lens, so I have to shield my face from the sun and really concentrate on what I'm doing.

	Yashica Mat 124G
		The Yashica-Mat 124G was the final incarnation of the Yashica medium format TLR and was manufactured between 1970 and 1986.
		It is similar to the Yashica-Mat 124 that preceded it, excepting the fact that the 124G has gold-plated meter contacts and the 124G's finish is a low-chrome, fl-out style.
		Several of the other Yashica TLRs, such as the Yashica 12, any of the Yashica-Mat models, and later Yashica D cameras, also feature the 4 element Yashinon lens and can be had for less money.

	YASHICA 16mm CAMERAS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		If you can't find the Yashica filters, the Minolta filters from the P or Ps cameras will fit (sort of).
		This was the last of the Yashica 16mm cameras.
		When it failed to sell well, Yashica tried cameras using the Minox cassette (see the Yashica Atoron), this time with moderate success.

	Favorite Classics / Yashica 635 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Many people are going after the Yashica 124G, which I also happen to own, because of the Yashinon lens and a couple of interesting features.
		Either Yashica, Rollei, or Walz brand are fine as long as they are that specific size.
		Special thanks to Karl A. Bryan for donating a couple of Yashica TLR manuals (which includes the manual to the 635, by the way) to us for scanning.

		When mounted over the viewfinder eyepiece of your Yashica single-lens reflex camera, the Yashica Magnifier provides a high magnification of the image at the center of the viewing screen, thus affording critical focusing.
		Made of high quality optical glass, Yashica screw-in type filters are available for color and BandW film, in sizes to fit f/1.2, f/1.4 (55mm), f/1.7 and f/2 (52mm) lenses.

		An early model in the Yashica line, the LM was the first to offer a built-in meter.

		The YF was the first marketplace result of Yashica's newly acquired Nicca company.
		Long the manufacturer of leaf shutter 2 1/4 twin lens reflexes, Yashica apparently bought out the Nicca factory to expand to focal plane shutter cameras for the first time.
		Another, esoteric reason I like the Yashica YF, is because it's a neat looking camera which does NOT look like other cameras.
