    Yashicaflex info needed

    in Medium Format

    Posted

    Bob,

     

    I have gone through some of my magazines and found an ad in one from 1955. I belive the Yashicaflex to be the ancestor of all Yashica TLRs.

    According to the ad you will find two varieties as follows

     

    Yashicaflex S

    Lens Heliotar 1:3.5 80 mm T

    Shutter 1-1/300 sec

    Built in exposure meter

    Frame counter (like Rolleicord)

     

    Yashicaflex AS

    Lens Yashimar 1:3.5 80 mm T

    Shutter 1/10-1/200 sec

     

    Hope this will help

    Yashica Mat with Luxamar Lens

    in Medium Format

    Posted

    Are you sure the name of the lens is Luxamar? Some 45 years ago I bought my first TLR which was (and is) a Yashica Mat but my lenses is named Lumaxar 1:3.5 80mm (taking lens) and View-Lumaxar 1:3.2 80mm (viewing lens). It is a 4 lens Tessar type that has proven very sharp and even today I find it very useful and perfectly working after all these years so I believe it to be a good buy you won't regret.
