INVITATION TO UNENDING EXCITEMENT
OF PHOTOGRAPHY
Yash ica interchangeable lenses and accessories
come in a wide variety and are designed to
fu rther extend the revolutionary performance of
Yashica electronic SLR cameras.
Superb color photography in almost any light
condition has been made possible through inten-
sive research by Yashica engineers into electronic
control of the exposure system. Yashica electro-
n ic S L R cameras are the resu lt of th is research
program. They iritroduce a completely new
concept of single-lens ref lex photography based
on integral function of the latest developments in
electronics and optical science.
Yashinon lenses and accessories are manufac-
tured on the same exacting prod uction standards
as all Yashica cameras. Every conceivable type of
photography becomes possible when d ifferent
lenses and accessories are employed with Yashica
electronic SLR cameras. They signify a glowing
tribute to Yashica, the pioneer of electronic SLR
system

YASHINON RANGE OF TELEPHOTO, SUPER TELEPHOTO AND ZOOM LENSES Telephoto lenses open a vast and exciting realm of photography. They provide "extra reach" to subjects wh ich cannot be approached, and re- produce images at a h igher ratio of magnif i- cation and highlight the main su.bject, when set to a wide open i ng, by decreasing the depth-of- f ield to such an extent that it provides pin-point focus only on the main subject. Zoom lenses are basically telephoto lenses and provide a completely new and conven ient approach to telephotogrpahy. They enable versatile composition, without closing-in or back- ing-away, simply by zooming the lens. Yashinon telephoto lenses are designed to bring out the above characteristic effects with the greatest impact and aff ord max imu m image sharpness at f u ll aperture. They are ideal f or snapshots, portraiture, stage and sports photo- graphy and f ull-f ledged telephotography.View original page 10
