At long last, a YashimaFlex has made its way to the UK. Yashima Flex TLRThis lovely old TLR spans the gap between the Pigeonflex and YashicaFlex, as Yashica acquired the Yashima company. I need to check with Chris Whelan but I think this is from the early production, so around 1954 in all probability - the shutter, Tomioka Tri-Lausar 80mm f3.5 lenses and viewfinder are all in excellent condition. I will re-shoot the group photo soon which illustrates the history of the Yashica TLR family from Pigeonflex onwards. Edit Note: Chris has kindly confirmed that this is either from late 1953 or early 1954.
