Yashica
Yashica was a Japanese camera and photographic equipment manufacturer, known for its innovative and diverse range of cameras from 1949 to 2005. The company transitioned from producing twin-lens reflex (TLR) cameras to 35mm rangefinders and single-lens reflex (SLR) models, including the popular Yashica Electro 35. Yashica also collaborated with Carl Zeiss to produce Contax-branded cameras. After being acquired by Kyocera in 1983, the Yashica brand was eventually discontinued in 2005. Yashica is now owned by a Hong Kong-based company and is used for a range of cameras and accessories. Yashica started with twin-lens reflex cameras like the Yashica Flex and Yashica Mat series, gaining popularity for their design and image quality. Yashica introduced the Electro 35, one of the first cameras with electronic exposure control. Yashica partnered with Carl Zeiss to produce Contax-branded cameras, known for their high-quality Zeiss lenses. In 1983, Yashica was acquired by Kyocera, which eventually led to the discontinuation of Yashica-branded camera production in 2005. The Yashica brand name has since been revived and is now used by JNC Datum, a Hong Kong company. Yashica's current focus is on offering accessible and user-friendly digital cameras, including those with an analog-inspired design like the Y35 DigiFilm camera, as well as night vision binoculars, according to its website. Yashica continues to produce unique digital and analog-inspired cameras and accessories, honoring its heritage while adapting to modern photography trends. Some of the company's older models, especially TLRs and the Electro 35, are highly valued by collectors.
