Product Overview

Released in 1970, this Yashica TLR was the final twin-lens reflex camera released by the brand and remained in production until 1986. It carried forward many of the features and design elements that made Yashica TLRs a favorite among photographers.

Twin Lens Reflex cameras are known for their distinctive dual-lens setup—one lens for viewing and focusing, and the other for image capture. These lenses are synchronized and matched in focal length, ensuring precise composition and focus.
