Just wondering what cameras Yashica produced were M42 thread.
I saw a Electro 35 G that had a nice 45mm f1.7 on it and didn't know if it was a Yashica baynet or M42 ?
Thanks

Hi,
Well...neither. That one's a fixed-lens rangefinder. (It is a nice lens, though.)
Per Camerapedia, the following is a list of Yashica M42 SLRs (some of these are just model variants):
Yashica Penta J
Yashica JP
Yashica J-3
Yashica J-4
Yashica J-5
Yashica J-7
Yashica TL
Yashica TL-E
Yashica TL Electro
Yashica TL Electro-AX
Yashica TL Electro-X
Yashica TL Electro-X ITS
Yashica TL Super
Yashica FFT
There were actually two different Yashica SLR bayonet mounts. Yashica's earliest SLRs used a proprietary bayonet; these models were all sold under the "Pentamatic" designation. The C/Y mount was adopted for the FR and FX series; I'm not terribly familiar with that model range.
Lots more lens information here.
Cheers,
Jon |

I have the Yashica TL Electro X. The X has mirror lockup, I don't think the regular Electro does.
Sweet camera, but if you ever buy one make sure that the electronics works.

I have two, a regular X and an X Its in black. On the Its the battery check lights up fine, but the meter won't meter. The X works well.

I have a TL Electro. You're correct, mine has no mirror lockup.

I have a Pentamatic with a couple of lenses. A very nice camera IMO.
Hard to find lenses though. |
