| − | The '''Yashica-D''' is a medium format [[TLR]] camera produced by [[Yashica]] in Japan. Early models were equipped with a coated three-element Yashikor 80mm f3.5 taking lens, while later models had the higher-quality, four-element Yashinon 80mm f3.5 taking lens. Early models had a Yashikor 80mm f3.5 viewing lens, while later models had a Yashinon 80mm f3.2 viewing lens. The last Yashica D models were equipped with bright 80mm f2.8 Yashinon viewing lenses; models with this viewing lens and the Yashinon taking lens are very desirable on the used market.

| − | The camera makes a 6×6 photo on 120 roll film, and has a [[Copal]] shutter, with shutter speeds of 1 – 1/500. It provides a PC connector for [[flash sync]]; and because it uses a [[leaf shutter]] it is capable of X sync at all shutter speeds. Be sure to set the flash switch to the "X" position when using an electronic flash. The M setting is only used for flash bulbs (now hard to find).

| − | The taking lens accepts [[Bay I]] filters and hoods. Use a hood to prevent flare.

| − | == 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 is advanced 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.

| − | Since the camera does not have a light meter, use a hand-held light meter or the [[sunny-16 rule]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Use of a [[cable release]] requires a [[Leica nipple]].
