Yashica 72-E — launched in the 1960s, when getting 72 shots from one roll felt like magic.
GENERAL INFO
The Yashica 72-E is a half-frame rangefinder that doubles your shots per roll. This compact camera captures two images in the space of one standard 35mm frame, giving you 72 exposures on a 36-exposure roll. It's quirky, economical, and produces a unique vertical format.
