Hello! I recently picked up a Yashica TLR from an estate sale and I am not sure what it is as the name plate seems to have been torn off. Going off eBay images, it may be a Yashica D, but I'm not 100% sure. Here are some photos of it: imgur.com/a/BoflJBN |

You are correct in identifying your camera as a Yashica D. There were quite a few variations in the appearance of the D and without being able to see the Yashica logo on the top of the focusing hood and the serial number, it's difficult to date it. It's certainly not one of the earliest models as we can see it bears the Y logo but which version of the logo is difficult to determine from the photos. You have a fine camera - those Yashica D models are very reliable and the Yashikor lenses are much better than expected when compared with the later Yashinons. Have fun with it! |

Awesome, it's great to hear that I snagged a lucky deal! Unfortunately the serial number is on the missing name plate but the logo looks like this: imgur.com/ykkpTskThanks again for your help! I look forward to putting some film through this camera! |
