Yasuhara T981

Description

Yasuhara T981 camera covered in red leatherette, without serial number or markings. Introduced in 1998 and made until 2001, these adept little rangefinder cameras feature an exposure meter and a top shutter speed of 1/2000, as well as an unmarked 50mm f2,8 collapsible lens, in Leica screw mount. Perhaps this camera set is a prototype; we have found no other unmarked Yasuhara T981 cameras to date. Condition: Near Mint
