What I love about this model is the 1\/800s shutter speed—most compacts of this era stop at 1\/500s. Combined with that massive f\/1.7 aperture, you have a camera that can handle almost any lighting condition, from dark jazz clubs to bright beach scenes. While it uses the historic Agfa Rapid cassettes, modern shooters often reload them with standard 35mm film to keep these high-performance machines running. It’s a rugged, honest piece of Japanese engineering that offers a truly premium feel in a small package.\"\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\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eYashica Half 17 EE Rapid\u003c\/b\u003e Half-Frame Camera (S\/N: AME5090829)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003eIntegrated \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"11\"\u003eYashinon 32mm f\/1.7\u003c\/b\u003e 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\"\u003eBrand: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eYashica\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003eModel: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eHalf 17 EE Rapid\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003eCamera Type: Compact Film Camera (Half-Frame)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003eLens: Yashinon 32mm f\/1.7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0\"\u003eFilm Format: 35mm via Agfa Rapid Cassette (18x24mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,5,0\"\u003eExposure: Program Automatic (EE) via Selenium Meter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,6,0\"\u003eCategory: 1.
