That day I found this Yashica compact 135 camera in my room, which belongs to my mom. I asked her about the camera and she remembers nothing besides it's hers. I tried to google it but I ended up found nothing about it. I just found it looked similar to the T series, especially the TAF ('kyocera' is marked in the bottom)... Could anyone recognize this camera? I wanna know more about the camera (like the spec)... but I can don't even know the model  ... So I am here to seek help from the pros...  |

Welcome to the Forum!
I've seen those, but don't remember the model name. Have your mom look around where she kept the camera (maybe in a dresser drawer), and possibly the name plate that fell off of it (it goes over those two Phillips head screws you see on the door slide) is still there.
I think these were bottom market cams, competing with the likes of the Konica Pop, or Canon Snappy.

Thanks guys!!! But I found the I can't move that switch to choose the iso, it's stucked at the iso 1000... anyway at least I found the flash working, I was thinking the camera may out of order already and wasted you guys' efforts, you know after all these years (it's older than me) if it's working it's a bonus, in my opinion Anyway thanks again  |

Nice that the flash works, as that's usually the first thing to go wrong. Shoot 800 speed film, and you should be close. If you have a lab close by to do the developing, tell them it was exposed at 1000 ISO, and they should be able to compensate for it. Let us know what kind of results you get with it, and post some photos here. PF |

I don't own many Yashica cameras now, but I compiled a chart of all the Yashica cameras I could find (including colour variants) for the Contax User Club I helped to run a decade or so ago. I am always on the lookout for other colour variants or models to add to the chart. Thumbnail below:-  |

Impressive work! Can you share the full size of this photo, since I can't zoom in/out?

Impressive work! Can you share the full size of this photo, since I can't zoom in/out? The Chart was generated in MS Publisher and is very large. It was originally designed to be printed on A1 paper but has probably expanded now to A0! Can I post a 4MB jpg image (2200 x 4612 px) here anywhere that would be viewable easily? Bare in mind that this project, although quite old now, is still work in progress with, no doubt, many corrections and additions needed, along with some design tweaks.

is there a link to the chart ? Sorry for long delay! I have been tinkering with the chart for quite some time. I know it's not complete and no doubt contains errors ... but I had to make a start somewhere! Let's see if this monster loads! Cheers, Bob. i1018.photobucket.com/albums/af308/bobblehat_photos/YasTree%202014%20in%20progress.jpg~originaledit: I can't seem to upload the 4MB jpg image here without it resizing, so have put the link instead. Open to advice on how to do it ..... or not to! |
