May I present ... Yashica A
Happy Birthday to me :-)
Have been itching to get one of these for some time now, so was really pleased to nab this at an absolute steal from ebay. Its in really excellent condition, although it does need a really good clean. It's firing at all speeds and the glass is unmarked and all knobs turn really smoothly. I have bought some Brooks Proofide to clean the leather and some Brasso for the metal bits. Any cleaning tips welcomed :-)
Tech;
Medium Format (120 film). Yashimar 80mm 3 element optics, f3.5-22. The Shutter is made by Copal.
Once it's had a good clean, I will load some film and post some results.
