From focusing to exposure to film winding, everything is done automatically—a true embodiment of the term point and shoot. This camera set the tone for what a “fully automatic” camera meant in the early 80s. Equipped with a Yashica 38mm f/2.8 fast prime lens, it delivers crisp, contrasty images with a bold, distinctly German-inspired rendering— surpassing the softness of many later Japanese compacts. Back when “compact” didn’t mean “compromised,” this camera featured a full-sized optical block, a strong built-in flash, and no shortcuts in imaging performance. In many ways, it outperforms the later miniaturized models— this is the romance of the 1980s. ⸻ ▶︎▶︎ Yashica Lens 38mm f/2.8｜Old-School Optical Craftsmanship The 38mm f/2.8 lens features a 4-element in 4-group design, representing a time when lenses were still crafted for their signature rendering—not just convenience. Unlike the soft, dreamy tones of many Japanese point-and-shoots, Yashica lenses have an unapologetically sharp and bold character. You’ll see hard contrast, fine detail, and a fearless look. The 38mm semi-wide focal length is ideal for daily photography—street, portrait, and everyday life. And with a f/2.8 aperture, you’ll get excellent low-light performance and a dreamy shallow depth of field when you want your subject to stand out. This isn’t just a lens—it’s a visual personality. ⸻ ▶︎▶︎ Matsuya Inspection Report ✅ Overall Condition: ~80% cosmetic rating, all functions work normally ✅ Lens: Clean and clear, no haze or fungus ✅ Autofocus & motorized film advance: Both tested and work reliably ✅ Electronics: Fully operational, battery compartment clean with no corrosion ✅ Includes 1-month warranty
