    Description:

    The Yashica Mat is a fully mechanical camera. This means it does not require any batteries to operate its shutter.

    Say hello to the coolest of cameras: the TLR, or twin-lens reflex. A TLR uses one lens to focus, while the shooting is done through the second (and bottom) lens. It is a very good system for 6x6 (square format), as it allows for a very compact and lightweight medium format experience.

    The Yashica Mat is the perfect beginner medium-format camera. It was Japan’s reply to the high quality German made Rolleiflex. The camera has an impressively sharp 80mm f3.5 lens that can definitely compete with the Tessar lenses present in the Rollei cameras from the same era. It is very easy to use and the viewfinder is bright enough for most situations.

    • First release year: 1959

    How does a camera end up here?

    1. Finding cameras

    The journey starts with sourcing the right gear. We get cameras from various place. Most of the time people reach out to us to sell their cameras and if they’re good we’ll bring them back to the store.

    2. Thorough testing.

    Each item is then tested with professional testing equipment.

    Cameras are then sorted internally into 3 categories:

    1. Tested and passed.
    2. To refurbish.
    3. For parts.

    3. Refurbished and cleaned

    Here comes the most important step. After being tested each camera is cleaned and refurbished by our team of skilled technicians.
    This goes from the compulsory light-seal change to the full CLA and electronic repair.

    We want to make sure your camera to function as new.

    4. Ready for a new home! With a warranty of course.

    We then sell these beautifully restored cameras to you, but just to be 100% certain we also give you:

    - A 6 months warranty certificate.
    - 14 days no questions asked return policy.
