Serial: # 31206233

Description

The Yashica TL Electro X is an absolute icon of late 1960s and 70s engineering, delivering a beautifully tactile SLR experience perfect for intermediate film photographers and analogue enthusiasts alike. Instantly recognizable by its classic vintage silhouette and the signature electronic “X” branding, this incredibly robust 35mm camera perfectly captures the golden era of Japanese camera design. Designed with a fully electronic metal focal-plane shutter, it strips away the guesswork by offering an innovative, arrow-based LED light meter right inside the viewfinder—giving you perfect exposure guidance with every shot.

Paired with the remarkably versatile Sirius MC 135mm f/2.8 lens, this setup offers incredible value. The fast f/2.8 maximum aperture is a dream for portraiture, melting away backgrounds into smooth, dreamy vintage bokeh. Unique to this telephoto prime is its Close Focus capability, allowing you to get much tighter to your subject than traditional 135mm lenses typically allow. Combine this with the mirror lock up feature and you can get some great macro shots. The M42 screw mount, the camera body also gives you native access to hundreds of historic lenses from Pentax Takumar, Carl Zeiss, and Helios.
