Yashica B TLR (Photos)

[Hikingman]

Was curious about these old relics, and now this one (http://cgi.ebay.com/Rare-Vintage-Japanese-Yashica-120-Copal-Camera_W0QQitemZ130375062725QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_ Vintage_Cameras?hash=item1e5af594c5) surfaces in Australia. Plenty of interesting pictures and brass. Has anyone seen one up close? The 'A' model that I purchased on *bay recently looks new compared to this one.

He stripped off all the leatherete n removed the chrome on all the beauty features. Sad example.

Also looks like an Elmar 3.5/50 taking lens -- wouldn't cover 6x6.

Think the "elmar" is a mess up in terms of image uploading. It's probably a rebadged russian industar-22 - look at the aperture selector.

And, the seller is not sure it works. :o

It's an ugly one for sure. I have a Yashica B standing here (although the leatherette needs replacing) in much better condition. The Elmar doesn't fit in the line up..
