I just bought a 70's era Yashica Mat and the shutter release ring is missing. The ring screws on to the threaded male portion of the shutter release button. Does anyone know where I can get one or get one made? Thanks

Welcome to the Forum larwood!
If you do indeed have a Yashica Mat, then that camera hails from the late 1950s; it was superseded by several models before culminating in the Yashica Mat 124G which was available in the 1970s. I don't know if the later models share the same shutter switch components. Your best chance of getting the shutter release ring (short of buying a non-working Mat that has the full shutter release switch assembly) is to contact: markhama@comcast.net He's in the USA and if anyone has spares for a Yashica Mat it will be him. It is also always worth checking Ebay as Yashica spares are always being advertised there for a variety of models including the Yashica TLRs.
I'm sorry I can't be more helpful; perhaps one of our other Members can come to your aid...

Welcome to the Forum, Larwood, and take a look at this site www.tlr-cameras.com/Japanese/Yashica.html to see if one of the other models of TLRs has a compatible ring to what you need. It will also help you in identifying exactly which model you have. PF |
