Last Edit: Aug 24, 2023 7:03:01 GMT by biggles3: eBay Item number changed
This lovely looking Yashica 35 rangefinder, regretfully, is not my camera but is listed today on the UK eBay site (item no: 166294993720) and I have the seller's permission to use the photo. Yashica 35 YasinonThis is the rare, fast lens version, with the 4.5cm f1.9 lens instead of the more common f2.8. BUT what makes this much more rare is the name of the lens - it's a Yasinon, not Yashinon. Only a few cameras were produced using this hang-over from Yashima days before Yashica corrected matters with their Yashinon branding. Had I deeper pockets, I'd be grabbing this great piece of Yashica history as it looks to be in fine condition. Perhaps someone here might be interested...

Very nice to see and seems a reasonable price too, given the number of these I've seen show up. It seems like it's been relisted due to an error in the original details. Listed under 166294993720 now.
