I have 2 Yashicamats in my reapir shop and want to know the differences and maybe a date of manufacture and which is more desireable.
The older Yashicamat....
It has a different logo on the hood, not the typical Y in a circle.
The serial number on the top of the viewfinder is 65427.
There are no markings on the winder side tank.
The lens is a Lumaxar 75mm 3.5, taking lens s/n 42755, viewer s/n 62806
The door clasp in the front is more like a hook shape flat metal.
There are 4 steps up to the front oval YASHICA MAT logo
Everything else seems typical of Yashicamats
The newer looking Yashicamat...
It has a tyical logo on the hood, the Y in a circle.
The serial number on the top of the viewfinder is 5871381
There are markings on the winder side tank, says
Yashima Opt. IND. CO. LTD, made in Japan.
The lens is a Lumaxar 80mm 3.5, taking lens s/n 30486, viewer s/n 63658
The door clasp in the front is a square shaped metal.
There are 5 steps up to the front oval YASHICA MAT logo
Everything else seems typical of Yashicamats.
I haven't been able to find these differences listed anywhere on the internet and would like to know a bit more about the differences?
Thanks,
