This has to be one of the prettiest cameras made under the Yashica brand...
T4D Safari
The Safari version has a charm that the classic black can't quite match and its green & brown canvas and leather case looks very racy on one's belt.
Of course, the real star is that stunningly sharp Zeiss Tessar 35mm f3.5 lens; it is one of the best examples of the Yashica/Zeiss partnership that emerged from their long relationship. The only negative: the DateBack which like almost all Yashica versions ran its course on 31.12.2019. Such a pity the engineers had no belief in longevity.

I like the hardware underneath. After years of wearing OD Green in the 70's, the camera colors remind me of a different place than being on Safari. :)
