1959 Yashica A - Vintage Film Camera

The Yashica-A. A twin-lens reflex (TLR) camera that takes 120 medium format film. I found mine in a house clearance sale and it needed a lot of TLC to get it working properly. It still needs some work but at least it takes great pictures and I love it.

A Yashica A was my first camera, bought for me for my 8th birthday in the early 1960s (I was photography mad and my mother wanted her Agfa Isolette 3, that I had somewhat commandeered, back). I rather regret that I sold it to a friend in about 1970 when I decided to go to 35mm with a Zenit B/Helios 44.

Ah I have my share of seller's regret too. Maybe worth looking in to getting a new one though. Thanks for watching.

I stick a tt artisan light meter in the cold shoe I recommend most people do so that are new to shooting film and don't know sunny 16

I just got my yashica A yesterday! I'm glad I stopped on your video. I was wondering if you happen to know the screw size for the cold shoe on the side of the camera? The cold shoe plate was hanging by one screw. and I wanted to fix it myself

[@sccjono]

I'm so glad it was a useful video. I'm afraid I wasn't able to find any information on screw sizes, but according to this very detailed site the screws are often replaced with different sizes so hopefully that helps. yashicatlr.com/BodiesTrim.html#shoes

I have yashica twin lens camera I want to sell it do you know the site.

Hello, I have just purchased this beautiful camera. Just a question about shutter speeds, there are only 1/25, 1/50, 1/100 and 1/300? Or you can play with the wheel to choose another speed between two numbers (1/75 for example)

[@sccjono]

Yes it really is a beautiful camera. The manual does not mention if there are speeds in between the ones that are marked, but I suspect that there are.
