Hi everyone,
I'm not quite sure how this fits into our Forum but it is an accessory that is undeniably Yashica-branded. Check out: www.fotovega.com/yashica-flash-ys8000-para-canon
I'd never even heard about it - why would someone rebrand a flash-gun intended for Canon EOS Digital cameras with a dead brand? Its appearance and specification would suggest that it's a current model, post-dating the end of Kyocera's ownership. Indeed, a cursory glance around the web finds that the manufacturer also produces a YS3000, YS7000, YS9100 - these are for Canon and Nikon cameras. I'm pretty sure they're made in China.
I suppose for completeness, it/they should be added to our flash trigger voltage list although the voltage must be low enough as its intended for use with DSLRs, so, unless someone asks, I think I'll ignore them. |

Yashica in name only. Who knows who the owner of the rights is now.

JNC Datum of Hong Kong is the owner of the brand now, as outlined on the new Yashica website. www.yashica.com/ |

Sad thing is, you click on a picture of a product item, and all you get is that picture again on another page. I think you have to register, and log in before they let you navigate anywhere. PF |
