Yashica Color 400

Yashica Film


Recently, somebody has licensed the "Yashica" brand name and have been putting out products purporting to be "classic" Yashica. They started with some inexpensive cameras first. But, then they came out with different kinds of film. I've only tried their color film so far, but it's got a unique look to it that doesn't mimic any other film I've used.
