Yashica Campus

Yashica Campus Another sample of the so-called camera chrome age, i.e. the 1960s. The Yashica Campus was the cheaper version of the very similar Yashica EE. It had the cheaper lens, the cheaper body covering and it lacked the exposure meter but for the rest is nearly identical. Even the parts are very similar as can be seen in the picture at the bottom of this page.
