The Yashica Mat was a true workhorse when first introduced more than 50 years ago.
With superbly crafted mechanisms and fabulously sharp and contrasty Yashinon lenses, it walked in the steps of it's more upmarket brother, the Rolleiflex.
This one here is in very good used condition, and aside of some very small nicks here and there from normal use, not abuse, it will keep on churning out stupendous photographs worthy enough to grace the front pages of any glossy magazines.
The lenses are in immaculate condition, no marks or fungus, the winding mechanism is fine, shutter and aperture working as normal.
The self-timer is a bit slow in working but I think that may be due to lack of use of the feature than anything else.
The meter needle is moving, but has not been confirmed as accurate, as the camera has always been used according to that bastion of photographers everywhere, the "sunny 16" rule!
And all the photographs taken with this method have come out outstandingly beautiful as expected.
The camera will come to you in a handy zip up case which has several pockets for extra lenses, film etc, and we are also including a rare yellow filter and very handy cable release as well.
A very sturdy and capable vintage camera for students or professionals alike.
