Equipped with the legendary Carl Zeiss Tessar 35mm f/2.8 T* lens, it delivers professional-grade sharpness and exceptional contrast. A unique feature of the T3 is the "N.A.

With its weather-resistant design and robust build, the T3 is a favorite among enthusiasts looking for a high-performance point-and-shoot.

Expert Advice The Yashica T3 is a powerhouse for street photography; the combination of the fast f/2.8 lens and the waist-level N.A. Scope allows you to capture candid moments from the hip without being noticed. It is also an excellent choice for travel and landscape photography due to the legendary Zeiss T* coating, which handles backlight and flare exceptionally well. For portrait photography, the f/2.8 aperture provides a surprisingly nice background separation for a compact camera. We recommend holding the shutter button down after taking a shot to delay the film advance motor, making your street photography even more discreet.
