The Yashica Campus is a 1962 rangefinder camera from Yashica, of the same generation as the Lynx 1000 and Minister II. But in the place of a selenium meter, it simply had a "Campus" nameplate. The Campus is very similar to the Yashica J but with an improved Copal SV shutter offering speeds from 1 to 1/500sec. A self timer is available with aprox. 8 sec delay. The lens is a Yashinon 4.5cm f2.8 with a 48 mm filter thread. It has a focus range of 0.8 meter to infinity with a aperture range of f/2.8 to f/16.
