The lens of the Yashica Micro Finess is a 33mm f3.5 triplet nothing fancy just functional.\u00a0 The first triplet lenses date all the way back to 1893 and are considered the simplest lens that can correct most aberations.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I haven’t been able to find much other information about this camera.\u00a0 One magazine from the time suggested that it had similar specifications to the T4 although with the Triplet lens rather than the Zeiss Tessar of the T4.\u00a0This does seem plausible when you consider that it can accommodate film DX coding from 50-3200 which\u00a0was unusual for an inexpensive camera\u00a0at that time.\u00a0 Whatever it might borrow from Yashica’s parts bin it is ultimately a middle of the road camera with a middle of the road wide-angle\u00a0lens.\u00a0 As\u00a0is often the case I used severely\u00a0expired Kodak 400 in this camera.
