Description from the seller
A rare opportunity for collectors and analog photography enthusiasts.
Up for auction is the legendary Yashica T5 (Kyocera) in the elegant Silver finish. This unit is New Old Stock (NOS): the camera is brand new and has never been used for shooting.
Functional Condition (Mechanical & Electronic):
Status: NEW. The electronics are snappy, autofocus is precise, and film transport is smooth.
Tests performed: The camera has been successfully tested electronically and mechanically (shutter, flash, autofocus, and film transport motor are fully operational). It has not been film-tested to preserve the absolute integrity of its New Old Stock condition (never loaded before).
Optics: The heart of the camera, the Carl Zeiss Tessar 35mm f/3.5 T* lens, is in showroom condition: crystal clear glass, no scratches, no fungus, no dust.
Viewfinder: The "Super Scope" top-down finder is perfectly transparent.
Cosmetic Condition & Technical Notes:
Although the camera has never been used, time has left some "storage marks" on the silver body due to prolonged contact inside the original packaging:
Surface marks: There are some abrasions on the grey finish on some corners and the back (clearly shown in the macro photos).
Back door: When closed, the door shows a slight gap of about 1-2mm. This is caused by the original rubber "Weatherproof" seal which, despite being new, has lost some elasticity over the decades. The door remains securely latched and locked.
Complete Kit (Full Set):
This lot includes all the original period materials:
Original Yashica box.
Original user manual.
Original Warranty Certificate (Towa).
Original wrist strap, still sealed in its plastic bag.
Serial Number: 044879.
Note: The set is original from the period; however, the serial number on the camera (044879) differs from the one shown on the warranty (1396), likely due to an original clerical error by the retailer.
