The Yashica TL series Single Lens Reflex 135 film cameras were initially a very similar design and specification to the Asahi Pentax Spotmatic series. The TL indicated through-lens (stop-down) metering.
The first set of cameras featured a Spotmatic-style viewfinder center-the-needle metering system.
- TL Super (1966)
- TL (1968) - a cut-down TL Super which had a reduce shutter speed range, and lacked a hot shoe and mirror lock-up.
The later Electro series replaced this with miniature viewfinder lamps, and electronically timed shutters.
- TL Electro X (1968) and TL Electro X ITS (1970) - were essential the same and had electronically timed semi-variable shutter speeds.
- TL E (1969) - a TL with miniature lamps.
- TL Electro (1972) - a cut-down version of the TL Electro X, which had conventionally stepped mechanical shutter speeds, and lacked a hot shoe and mirror lock-up.
- Yashica Electro AX (1972) - aperture priority auto exposure.
