A high-quality 35mm rangefinder camera with sharp optics and built-in light meter ideal for classic film photography.

The Yashica Minister-D is a well-built 35mm rangefinder camera from the mid-1960s, part of the respected Minister series. It features a Yashinon 45mm f/2.8 four-element lens that delivers sharp and contrasty results, paired with a selenium light meter for simple, battery-free exposure readings.
