Yashica is a Japanese camera brand founded in 1949. Initially, the brand produced simple and affordable cameras for the general public, but over the years it has expanded its range to include more advanced devices such as interchangeable lens cameras and digital SLR cameras.
In the 1960s and 1970s, Yashica was considered one of the most innovative brands in photography, with models such as the Electro 35, a compact direct viewfinder camera that was very popular at the time.
Unfortunately, in the 1980s and 1990s, Yashica began to experience financial difficulties due to increasing competition from brands such as Canon and Nikon. In 2005, the brand was acquired by Kyocera, a mobile phone manufacturer, which decided to focus on digital cameras.
Although Yashica no longer has the same presence in the photography market as it once did, its cameras are still appreciated today by film photography enthusiasts and are considered collector's items.
