Yashica Mat with original case!
The Yashica-Mat with a Copal-MXV shutter is a classic Japanese 6x6 Twin Lens Reflex (TLR) medium format camera, first introduced around 1957–1959. It was designed to mimic the Rolleiflex, featuring a 4-element 80mm f/3.5 Yashinon taking lens and a 120 film format, offering 12 exposures per roll. It is known for its fully mechanical operation (no batteries required), a crank-operated film advance that cocks the shutter, and a quiet, reliable leaf shutter.
