Yashica 635 was released in the early 1960s and production continued right up to the 1970s. Yashica’s answer to the Rolleicord cameras. Although the camera is between 50-60 years old it still has a beloved spot among analog enthusiasts for the shutter cocking mechanism which allows for stunning multiple exposures.

Twin-Lens Reflex (TLR) cameras are uniquely recognizable for their two lenses. One lens is used for taking the images and the other is used for viewing, focusing, and framing your photos. The lenses are synchronized and of the same focal length to allow for accurate framing and focusing.

The Yashica 635 TLR shoots in a 6x6cm square format and can take 120 format, 220 format (now discontinued) film. The camera may also be used to shoot on 35mm film however an external adapter is needed for the same. The adapter is not included with this camera.
