The Yashica-D is a medium format TLR camera produced by Yashica, from 1958 until 1972. This camera was in production at the same time as the Yashica-635 and Yashica-Mat cameras, as well as the Yashica-A and B. While not entirely linear, the later the letter in the camera name, the higher end the model. Therefore, the Yashica D can be considered the top of the line of the Yashica TLR cameras... we should clarify that the Yashica D is specifically the top of the line with knob winding TLRs, these cameras would slowly be superseded by the Yashica-Mat series, which used a winding crank instead of knob.

The Yashica D is an all-around solid TLR camera. While not as sought after as the later Yashica-Mat 124G, we would argue that it should be. The camera features an all-mechanical and quite reliable build, along with excellent Yashinon 80mm f/3.5 taking lens. Early models of the Yashica D have an f/3.5 viewing lens as well, but the later versions replaced this with a slightly brighter f/2.8 lens. The shutter and aperture are controlled via dials to the sides of the two lenses, in a fashion very similar to Rollei TLR cameras. Additionally, like the Rollei TLR, the lenses can accept Bay 1 size filters.
