Rare Gray Yashica 44 TLR Set from 1958
- Tested, Fully Working
- Original Box, Case, Lens Cap, Strap,
Instructions, Warranty Card, Brochure,
127 Film Spool

Gorgeous Yashica-44 twin-lens
reflex (TLR) set from my personal
collection. I purchased this set from
the original owner. It's been a favorite
camera in my collection for a long time.

It features Yashikor (made by Tomioka)
80mm f/3.5 viewing and taking lenses,
Copal shutter with speeds from Bulb,
to 1/500th of a second, crank film advance,
and smooth focusing.

The lenses are clean and clear and the
aperture blades are oil-free.

The camera is corrosion free and the leatherette
is tight, clean, and bright. There is one
small area where the paint
has worn through (see pic #6).
There is some dust and debris visible
on the mirror which has no effect on the
final images.

The camera uses 127 roll films which are
available again. The 4x4cm format is a
perfect size and combined with the
sharp Yashikor lens makes stunning images.

Includes - A solid original box with a cardboard
insert and colorful lid. The original
gray leather case is solid and the snaps work
without issue. The Yashica gray metal lens
cap is included as is the gray leather strap.
Includes an empty film spool.
The instruction booklet is complete
and free of any writing. The guarantee/registration
cards match the camera's serial number. As a
bonus, I have included the original Japanese color
brochure which is nearly impossible to find.

There is an exposed roll of film from maybe the 1960s
as part of the package!

It's a fun camera to use and I'm happy to
pass it along to the next collector.
Additional pictures upon request.

Smoke and pet-free home.

I mail daily and it will be mailed via
USPS Priority Mail with insurance
and tracking.

*No returns. It is described and depicted accurately.
Vintage cameras and electronics are by their
very nature, vintage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does your shop offer combined shipping?

Yes, just let us know and we'll work something out. No need to pay for shipping more than once.

Does your shop accept returns?

Yes, but with some exceptions. No returns on custom-made items. Part two - we will gladly accept a return within 14 days as long as it is returned to us in the same condition as when we sent it to you. Specifically, if an item is new and unused and in its original box and packaging it must be returned in an unused and unopened condition. Vintage and classic cameras, lenses, and certain pieces of vintage photogear carry no warranties or guarantees. By their very nature, older cameras are just that, old, and their electronics, levers, knobs, buttons, and dials can fail at any time. Let us know if you are returning something, maybe we can reach an agreement short of a full return. Part three - you will always pay for return shipping. Thanks

Will my purchase arrive well packaged?

Always! Carol and I take great care (and pride) in packaging your purchase. We are mindful of being "green" but often times green doesn't protect your package properly. We have been shipping items safely since 2003. We must say, however, that we are not responsible for mishandling by the carrier(s) or loss of an item. Most items and especially valuable items will always have insurance added.

How can I contact your shop?

We are on Etsy almost every day and the best way to get our attention is by starting an Etsy convo. We'll answer you quickly. We're generally in the shop until 11 PM EST.

Does your shop ever do custom orders?

Yes, we do. Just let us know what you want or are looking for and we'll see if we can make it happen.

Does your shop accept a best offer?

We think we have everything priced properly but we are here to make a sale and keep our customers happy. Let us know if you want to make an offer on something. I'm sure we will find a way to reach an accord.
