Capture the golden age of film photography with this Yashica Primo-JR, a classic twin-lens reflex (TLR) camera manufactured by Tokyo Optical Co. In Japan during the late 1950s-early 1960s. Compact yet refined, the Primo-JR was designed for 127 format Superslide film (4x4cm images), making it smaller and more portable than its 120 film cousins like the Yashica-Mat and Rolleiflex. Film Format: 127 (4x4 cm Superslide images).

Taking Lens: Yashikor 60mm f/2.8 (sharp, bright, coated glass). Viewing Lens: Yashikor 60mm f/2.8. Shutter: Copal, 1 sec - 1/500 sec + Bulb.

Aperture Range: f/2.8 - f/22. Focus: Manual knob with smooth adjustment. Made in Japan by Tokyo Optical Co. Camera body is in very good vintage condition with only minor cosmetic wear. Lenses are clear, free of major haze, fungus, or separation. Shutter fires at all speeds (not bench-tested for accuracy). Aperture blades clean and functional. Leatherette intact, metal trim shows only light wear.

Serial No: 273819 (engraved on nameplate). This Primo-JR is ideal for collectors of mid-century Japanese cameras or for photographers looking for a unique TLR experience on 127 film (which is still available from specialty suppliers). Why You'll Love It: Compact, stylish, and historically significant, the Primo-JR is a beautiful display piece AND a usable classic for film shooters who love the challenge of unique formats.
