This specific unit features the reliable Citizen-MXV shutter and is equipped with the respected Yashimar 80mm f\/3.5 taking lens (S\/N: 501445). Capturing large 6x6 cm negatives on standard 120 roll film, it delivers the iconic \"medium format look\" characterized by smooth tonal transitions and impressive detail. The waist-level viewfinder provides an immersive composing experience, making it a favorite for slower, more deliberate photography. Housed in its original leather case, this camera is a beautiful example of mechanical Japanese craftsmanship from the golden era of 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\"\u003eSharp Yashimar 80mm f\/3.5 taking lens for classic vintage rendering\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,1,0\"\u003eReliable Citizen-MXV shutter with speeds ranging from 1s to 1\/400s plus Bulb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\"\u003eLarge 6x6 square format for high-resolution medium format negatives\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,3,0\"\u003eFully mechanical operation requiring no batteries for shooting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,4,0\"\u003eBright waist-level viewfinder with a built-in magnifier for critical focusing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,5,0\"\u003eFlash synchronization (M and X) for versatile lighting options\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\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\"\u003eCamera Type: Twin-Lens Reflex (TLR) Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\"\u003eFilm Format: 120 Roll Film (6x6 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\"\u003eTaking Lens: Yashimar 80mm f\/3.5 (S\/N: 501445)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\"\u003eViewing Lens: Yashimar 80mm f\/3.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,4,0\"\u003eShutter: Citizen-MXV (1s - 1\/400s)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,5,0\"\u003eCategory: Cameras ▸ Twin-Lens Reflex (TLR) Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,6,0\"\u003eBattery Type: No Battery Required (Fully Mechanical)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\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 Yashicaflex series was instrumental in bringing high-quality TLR photography to a wider audience. This Model A, featuring the Yashimar optics (S\/N: 501445), is particularly noted for its character; it produces a lovely, soft bokeh and a center sharpness that is perfect for vintage-style portraits. While there is some minor lifting of the original leatherette ('leer laat een beetje los'), this is a very common and easily fixable trait for a camera of this age. It doesn't affect the mechanical integrity or the light-tightness of the body. It remains a tactile, rewarding tool for any photographer looking to explore the roots of Japanese medium format.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/b\u003e Good condition. The camera body shows normal signs of use consistent with its age. The original leatherette is peeling slightly in a few areas but remains mostly intact. The taking lens (S\/N: 501445) is clear, free from fungus or significant haze. The Citizen-MXV shutter has been tested and fires across the speed range. The focusing knob moves smoothly, and the viewfinder is clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"\u003eYashicaflex Model A TLR Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\"\u003eYashimar 80mm f\/3.5 Taking Lens (S\/N: 501445)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\"\u003eOriginal Leather Ever-Ready Case\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yashica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53876090241364,"sku":"A66W4353BG","price":149.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/2493\/3716\/files\/IMG_2886_1dd5b917-4f8f-4a12-a699-6705b85626d0.jpg?v=1773314584","url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/es\/products\/yashicaflex-model-a","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
