Pitchfork: Yashica D Camera

yashica WM
The more I find myself being absorbed into photography, the more I find myself lusting after weird cameras. Take this Yashica D camera I spotted at Pitchfork. This model was released in 1966 and uses 120 film. Note the “spaghetti western” style font between the two lenses that was popular during the 1960s. The viewfinder is located inside the camera so you have to peer down into the body. I would love to have one of these to just play around with.
The girl who was carrying it told me she bought it on KEH.com, which just so happens to be the place where I purchased my new Canon EOS 1-D camera body.

    I have a Minolta that looks just like that. I bought it at an antique store 15 years ago for $20. I just thought it looked cool then. Now that I'm into photography, I'm starting to wonder if I could actually use it…
