I found a Yashica-D last Friday at a thrift store for 30 dollars American. Was dirty on the outside, but look good and seemed to work. I couldn't get the money out of my pocket fast enough. Took it home and cleaned it up. The Yashica-D sign on top was loose too. Ended up running a roll through it the following Monday. And now we wait. lol Great video, thanks.
Love the video, just got myself a Yashica-A TLR in somewhat of a dirty condition for $60. Cleaned it up thanks to your video and now it looks amazing!! Thank you!!! I also have a Nikon FE so definitely waiting for that video to come out some day!
Hi All, I can certainly vouch for Jeff. I have purchased a number of TLR's from him. They arrive relatively quickly especially now that I live on the West coast of the U.S.A. I am a collector and it is very nice to find an honest reputable camera dealer so far away from home. Regards to all Tom
Hi Tom! Based on your experience, how long does it typically take to receive your camera? Haven't had any response from Jeff, but I'm sure he's backed up with orders.
Great explanation and video. I have the grey Yashica D, with a Yashikor lens. Something you didn't mention is that you have to set the shutter speed before cocking the shutter or the shutter will be damaged.
That’s a beautiful camera, I am currently on the market for a TLR and I would for sure buy this model in this color variant if you have one, do you think it can be found ?
Just for kicks, some math! The maximum optical resolution you can get out of film using the Epson v7xx or v8xx is approximately 2,700 dpi. It's actually a 2900ish on the horizontal and 2600ish on the vertical, but 2700 is a nice even number. At 2.362 inches per side on a 6x6 square that works out to 40.6 megapixels, or 6377x6377. Setting 3200dpi in your scans and downsampling to 2800dpi will ensure your file sizes are the smallest possible while retaining all the data. For typical purposes this is more than enough resolution for any kind of normal print, especially when considering gigapixel AI works fantastically well with film photography images. You can transfer a dramatically higher amount of data using high resolution digital camera scanning, but it's kind of pointless. Assuming a lens with a resolution of at least 80 line pairs per millimeter, and modern film emulsion, data transfer rates of 8,000 DPI using camera scanning or drum scanning:) For traditional scanning of 35 mm, you can get 4,100 DPI out of the PIE XAs or XEs - ~24mpx. I use the XAs to batch scan entire rolls of 35 mm with infrared dust removal. I have absolutely no reason to investigate camera scanning, since the time it takes to get to an end result with the majority of my film shooting being 35 mm, it actually takes longer to camera scan :-)
Thank you for informative video again. I acquired a near mint D and noticed a very dirty or stained focus screen. Is it difficult to obtain and install a new screen? Thank you in advance!
I have sent an email to you and also sent a message to you via your web page. Sofar I have not got any respons from you! Tne purpose was to buy a camera from you!!

Beautiful version of the Yashica D. Thanks for sharing your film developing process! Always looking forward to these videos.

I love these cameras. I have a Yeshiva 635 and a Mamiyaflex automat B.

Hi pls do review konica c35 and olympus trip 35

Question:
I’m deciding which one to get, Yashica D or a Rolleicord Vb
… not sure (I’m switching from 35mm to 6x6). Thx. 😊
How do I find you on eBay?
I have sent an email to you and also sent a message to you via your web page.

Thanks. They were (are) very good cameras. But this one is so ugly! It looks like a cheap toy or something for display only.
