eBay This Yashica 200 AF, circa 1987, is one of the pioneering auto focus 35mm SLRs designed for series-production – made in Japan. It is capable of: o Auto-everything photography (Program or P mode) o Aperture priority-A mode o Shutter priority-S mode o Manual-M mode where the photographer sets aperture, shutter speed. You can choose auto focus or manual focus in all four modes, as well as single photo or continuous photo at a speed of 1.7 frames per second. A significant capability of Yashica AF cameras (this 200 model and the ones that followed it: 230, 270 and 300) is the “trap-focus” mode: set the camera to a specific focus distance, camera will wait for the subject to move into your preset focus plane and trigger the shutter when the subject is there. Use: wildlife photography as well as photographs of moving subjects at a fixed known distance: boat races, bicycle, car races, and similar on a track/circuit, sports events, etc. Along with the very first integrated autofocus 35mm SLR ever: the Minolta Maxxum 7000 in 1985, it was joined by the Nikon N2020 (F-501 outside US) in 1986, and the Canon EOS 650 in 1987. There were earlier low-production / short production timeframe more experimental attempts at AF 35mm SLRs, such as the Nikon F3AF with a lens with huge bulging in-lens AF motor mounted on to a modified F3 camera body, and the Canon T-80 with a similar large bulging AF lens, but not of those were fully camera-body integrated auto-focus designs and they had an extremely limited selection of lenses ever made for them. This 1st generation of auto focus 35mm SLR cameras came out in in the mid-1980s, typically with full PASM Program, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and full Manual control like this Yashica 200. The Yashica 200 and its counterparts from Nikon and Minolta set the standard for all auto focus 35mm SLRs that followed, and the DSLRs that eventually replaced them. The Yashica 200 AF’s Auto Focus system is via a passive Through The Lens (TTL) phase difference detection with CCD sensor. The system senses distance to subject, feeding this info to an in-camera microprocessor which controls an in-camera-body electric motor driving a screw-drive type mechanical interface in the mount which couples with the lens mechanism to rotate the lens focus ring. The shutter is a vertical travel metal blade type with speeds from 8 seconds to 1/2000 sec, as well as B (bulb) mode and 10-second delay self-timer.

Battery leakage damage is a common problem in older equipment stored long-term with batteries in place. Always remove batteries when storing this camera, and any other battery-powered device. ++++++++++ Recommendation: get a Skylight 1A filter for all your camera lenses. Benefits: a very pleasing subtle warming effect (due the to slight magenta tint) and 50% reduction of the negative effects of ultra violet (UV) light on your photographs: haze and a bluish cast that alter and ruin your images, particularly in landscape and outdoor photography. Filter also improves overall clarity, contrast, and color saturation in your photos. Film is far more sensitive to UV light than digital sensors are, so this is a simple and effective (and cheap) way to mitigate UV effects. ++++++++++ resolution of 35mm film images vs. digital images: depending on the ISO speed of the film you use, a typical 35mm photo is equivalent to a 20mp to 50mp digital image Low ISO film, such as 100 or 200 = sharper images with less grain, but requires more light to capture an image, equivalent to an approx. up to 50mp digital image. Higher ISO film, such as 400 or 800, re = brighter images in low-light environments but typically less sharp photos with more grain, equivalent to an approx. 20+mp digital image. You can adjust the ISO sensitivity on your digital camera to compensate for available light, but your sensor’s mp rating is what it is, and it will dictate the maximum resolution of your digital photos. The foremost advantage of film photography is the unique aesthetic it brings. Film has a distinctive texture and depth with rich, warm colors (and superb tonal detail for black & white photographs) and a wide overall tonal range, contributing to an organic look that digital photography struggles to replicate and usually falls short of. good overview of film vs.digital at: https://www.elevatedmagazines.com/single-post/digital-vs-film-the-pros-and-cons-in-modern-photography ++++++++++ see review of this camera at: o https://www.35mmc.com/08/02/2021/5-frames-with-the-yashica-200-af-in-1990s-tijuana-by-mirko-karsch/ (Article with photos taken by this camera, describes extensive user experience with this camera) o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRfDHiGZKDw&t=306s (Youtube video -no narration- shows steps of setting up for operation: how to insert battery & film, adjusting auto focus, and overview/demonstration of functions and features.
