Yashica Minimatic-S

I really dont remember how I got this camera in my hands. Probably from some relative. I owned it for a long time though.

It has a Yashinon lens, 45 mm f 1:1.8 and a fully automatic exposure system that doesnt need a battery, thanks to the selenium sensor around the lens.

I have tried it with a roll of Kodak Tri-X 400 and it seems like the meter are still working. The shutter release on the other hand sometimes hangs and dont trigger the shutter.

I found a very useful link when trying to find information about it on the net:

And there is a forum for users of Yashica cameras:

  1. Did you stop writing your camera blog? I see the last entry is April 2011.

    Here’s hoping you begin blogging again. Even if it’s a post or two a month.
