AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Yashica-44 TLR Camera (Gray, 1958) – For parts or restoration
The Yashica-44 was introduced in 1958 by the Japanese manufacturer Yashica. It is a compact and iconic Twin Lens Reflex (TLR) camera, specifically designed for 127 roll film (4x4 cm negatives). This beautifully styled gray variant was at the time a popular and stylish answer to the more expensive European compact TLR cameras.
Condition description:
This unit is used and is explicitly offered for parts or as a restoration project (spares or repair).
• Optics: The glass of the lenses is clean and free of scratches. The focusing screen is nicely clear.
• Shutter: The Copal-SV shutter is cocked and clicks, but the shutter speeds do not sound accurate (likely stuck by age).
• Mechanics: The front panel (the part where the lenses are mounted) has noticeable play.
• Accessories: Including the original gray leather case. It is in heavily worn condition with clear wear, bare/aged edges, and missing parts (no strap).
An aesthetically pleasing and photogenic collector’s item. Due to the play on the lens board and the inaccurate shutter speeds, the camera needs a service (CLA) or repair to become fully functional again. Ideal for a handy repairer or as a decorative display model!
Please view the photos carefully for an accurate impression of the cosmetic condition.
Well-packaged shipping.
