The 35 MF is a viewfinder camera made by Yashica in 1977.[1] It has an unnamed, coated 38 mm f/2.8 lens, with scale focusing by zone symbols. Japanese collector 'Minocat' states that this is a Tessar-type lens.[2] The camera has programmed automatic exposure between 1/60 second at f/2.8 and 1/250 second at f/16, with a CdS meter cell mounted inside the filter ring.[2][3] A needle meter is displayed in the brightline viewfinder, showing what aperture will be used. Unlike later similar cameras, the shutter does not lock in low light.[2]
The camera has a built-in pop-up flash, the first Yashica camera with this feaure, according to 'Minocat';[2] the flash is raised from the top housing by turning the exposure mode ring of the lens, while pressing the silver button on the front of the camera. There is a self-timer on the front of the camera, to the right of the lens. The camera requires a 1.3V mercury cell to power the meter, and two AA batteries for the flash; 'Minocat' notes that it will expose at 1/60 second and f/2.8 without a meter battery.[2]
