Description:
The Yashica company made a long
line of 6×6 TLR cameras, comprising many models
which were the result of a gradual evolution rather
than radical change they are conveniently divided
into knob advance models and crank advance
models.Yashica-635 is a double format film TLR camera
made by Yashica and introduced in c.1958.
It is enhanced Yashica-D with the added ability to
use 35mm film as an alternative to 120. To use
35mm requires an adaptor kit. This feature is very
useful, effectively making two great cameras in one.
When shooting 120 film, the standard 80mm lends
itself well for landscape or architecture but lacks
focal length needed for portraits. However, when
loaded with 35mm the 80mm lens is ideal for
portraits. Conversion kit includes mask assembly,
pressure plate, take-up spool adapter and cartridge
and adapters. The lens is Yashikor 80mm f 3.5 in
Copal-MXV shutter with speeds 1-1 500. Rewind
knob for 35mm is on upper left side of the camera.
Among collectors, the 635 is more desirable than
the Yashica-D.
