T4D Safari

This has to be one of the prettiest cameras made under the Yashica brand...

T4D Safari

The Safari version has a charm that the classic black can't quite match and its green & brown canvas and leather case looks very racy on one's belt.

Of course, the real star is that stunningly sharp Zeiss Tessar 35mm f3.5 lens; it is one of the best examples of the Yashica/Zeiss partnership that emerged from their long relationship.  The only negative: the DateBack which like almost all Yashica versions ran its course on 31.12.2019.  Such a pity the engineers had no belief in longevity.
