Released in the early 1970s, the Yashica Super 40K is a beautifully designed, highly reliable Super 8 movie camera. It features a fast f/1.8 Yashinon 4x power zoom lens that delivers the rich color rendition and vintage contrast characteristic of Japanese classic optics. Equipped with an accurate through-the-lens exposure meter and a fold-away pistol grip, it offers a remarkably portable, intuitive filming experience. It is a perfect tool for directors and fashion content creators looking to capture authentic analog texture, motion, and grain for lookbooks or behind-the-scenes projects.

Condition:

Near Mint in Original Box An exceptionally clean unit that has been handled with care. It may show light, minimal signs of previous ownership—such as a faint scuff or a small "bright mark"—but its overall appearance remains sharp, premium, and highly well-preserved.

Package Includes: Original Yashica factory box, inner packaging inserts, and original printed instruction manuals.
