Introduced in the late 1950s, this model is prized for its minimalist, fully mechanical design and its signature Yashimar 80mm f\/3.5 taking lens. This three-element triplet lens is celebrated for its classic vintage rendering, offering gentle sharpness and a smooth, nostalgic \"roll-off\" in out-of-focus areas that modern digital sensors cannot replicate. With its bright waist-level viewfinder and nearly silent leaf shutter, the Yashica-A provides a tactile and meditative shooting experience that produces negatives with four times the detail of standard 35mm film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\"\u003eClassic Yashimar 80mm f\/3.5 prime taking lens for soulful, vintage medium format imagery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,1,0\"\u003eMatching Yashimar 80mm f\/3.5 viewing lens for bright, top-down ground glass focusing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\"\u003eCopal shutter with four essential speeds (1\/25s, 1\/50s, 1\/100s, 1\/300s) plus Bulb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,3,0\"\u003eLarge 6x6cm square negatives on 120 film for superior tonal range and detail\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,4,0\"\u003eFully mechanical operation—no batteries ever required for shooting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,5,0\"\u003eIntegrated pop-up magnifier in the waist-level finder for critical focus adjustment\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,6,0\"\u003eDurable all-metal body with a timeless black leatherette and chrome aesthetic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIntroductory Paragraph\u003c\/b\u003e The Yashica-A is a masterpiece of functional simplicity. This specific unit features the 80mm focal length, which is widely considered the \"standard\" view for the 6x6 format, providing a perspective very similar to the human eye. Because it is a Twin-Lens Reflex, you compose and focus through the top lens while the bottom lens captures the image on film, allowing for a constant, uninterrupted view of your subject even during exposure. The Yashica-A is particularly favored by street photographers and portraitists who appreciate its quiet operation and the way it encourages a slower, more considered approach to composition. It is a rugged, honest, and highly rewarding tool for any film enthusiast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/b\u003e Good condition. The camera body shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its vintage age. Both the Yashimar 80mm f\/3.5 taking lens and viewing lens are optically clear, free from fungus, haze, or significant scratches. The Copal shutter has been tested and fires accurately across all four speeds and Bulb mode. The aperture blades are clean and responsive. The waist-level viewfinder opens and closes correctly, and the ground glass is clear. The film transport and manual focus knobs operate smoothly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/b\u003e \"The Yashica-A is the 'people's TLR.' What I love about this model is that it doesn't overcomplicate the process; it gives you exactly what you need to make great images and nothing you don't. The Yashimar lens has a lovely 'glow' when shot wide open at f\/3.5, which is perfect for dreamy portraits, but it sharpens up beautifully at f\/8 for landscapes. It’s an incredibly quiet camera—the leaf shutter is barely a whisper—making it one of the best tools for candid street work. For anyone wanting to experience the magic of 120 film without the complexity of a pro-system, the Yashica-A is the perfect companion.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003eYashica-A TLR Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003eIntegrated Yashimar 80mm f\/3.5 Taking Lens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003eIntegrated Yashimar 80mm f\/3.5 Viewing Lens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003eCamera Type: Twin-Lens Reflex (TLR) Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003eFilm Format: 120 Roll Film (6x6cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003eTaking Lens: 80mm f\/3.5 (Prime Lens)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003eViewing Lens: 80mm f\/3.5 (Prime Lens)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0\"\u003eShutter: Copal Leaf Shutter (1\/25s - 1\/300s)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,5,0\"\u003eFocus Type: Manual Waist-Level Ground Glass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,6,0\"\u003eCategory: 1.
