Yashica Half 14.

Half-frame with a 32mm/1:1.4 lens. Wow.

It is kind of cute. That is unusual too, an f/1.4. Wonder if it will sell for the asking price or more?

I guess I've seen this before for little less (but certainly 3-digit figure). Looks like it's changing hands and growing up price.

I passed on one of these a month or two ago. Unknown if it was working, but looked okay cosmetically (came with original beat up case too). I think it sold for $50-$60 on the big auction site. The thing about this camera I don't understand is how do you scale focus at f1.4 with accuracy? I'm pretty good at guesstimating distance, but not that good.

I have the 1.7 rapid, that is difficult enough for guestimating the distance. And a lot cheaper ofcourse (paid $ 22 for full working camera).
