The Yashica MG-2 (VG41) has been inspected by CPB Darkroom. The flash fires correctly, and the film advances smoothly. The backdoor lock is slightly loose, but the door closes and functions. The latch at the backdoor must be disengaged for the door to close. Cosmetically, the camera is in excellent condition and shows normal signs of use consistent with age. The camera has been tested by the CPB Darkroom team and shows no light leaks in the images. 

The images shown depict the exact camera you will receive. A compact and straightforward autofocus camera from the 1980s, the MG-2 features a fixed 35mm f/3.5 lens, built-in flash, and automatic exposure control. Since there is a backdoor issue this camera would be good fit for students or someone who is just venturing in to film photography.

This camera uses standard 35mm (135) film, producing 24 × 36 mm negatives. Powered by commonly available AA batteries, it remains practical and easy to maintain. Point-and-shoot cameras sold by CPB Darkroom are inspected for flash performance, film transport reliability, and overall functionality, with any cosmetic or mechanical notes clearly described and reflected in the condition grade.
