Description
The Yashica D is a medium format TLR camera produced by Yashica in Japan. Early models were equipped with a coated 3-element Yashinor 80mm f3.5, while later models had the higher-quality Yashikor lens.
It makes a 6cm x 6cm photo on 120 roll film, and has a Copal shutter, with shutter speeds of 1/25, 1/50, 1/100, and 1/300. Because it uses a leaf shutter, it is capable of X sync at all shutter speeds, and has a PC sync connector for flash.
The taking lens is accepts Bay I filters.
Operation
Shutter speed and aperture are set by turning small dials on the front of the camera just above the taking lens until the appropriate number appears in a window on the top of the viewing lens. Film advance is performed by manually cranking the advance wheel until it stops turning. A small frame counter is visible on the side of the camera near the film advance knob.
Use of a cable release requires a Leica nipple.
