Specifications
Two sets of framelines are visible in the viewfinder, one set for infinity focus and the other one for closer focus. There's no automatic parallax correction as on the later Yashica Electro 35 series. The rangefinder is coupled to the focusing ring. This ring has a small lever to make focusing more comfortable.
The lens is a fixed 45mm F/2.8 Yashinon with apertures from 2.8 to 16. The minimal focusing distance is 1 meter.
Variations
At least two variants of this camera are known: one with the *J** logo on a black field and with a black lens barrel, as shown in the pictures, and another with a metal colored field and lens barrel.
