AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Yashica Snap zone-focus 35mm compact (1978) with fixed Yashica 38mm f/2.8 lens. Working with clear optics; note the partly-renewed light seals below.
Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.
The Yashica Snap is a simple zone-focus 35mm viewfinder camera introduced by Yashica in 1978, closely related to the Yashica ME1. It carries a compact fixed Yashica 38mm f/2.8 lens and relies on a battery-powered CdS meter with fully automatic programmed exposure. Focusing is set by zone symbols rather than a rangefinder, and the shutter will not fire in insufficient light. A straightforward, pocketable snapshot camera from the late 1970s.
Important — please read carefully:
The degraded shutter-chamber light seals were removed; new seals have been applied to some areas only, and other areas have been left with the seals removed and not re-applied (please see the photos) — you may wish to complete them before use. The camera otherwise works with clear optics and a responding meter. Please review the photos and consider this before bidding.
