Hi guys,
The subject of the new digital kick-starter project .....the Yashica Y35.......... with it's 135 style film cassettes (kit price $150) came up here on the forum during a spate of similar kick-start products.
After achieving their financial target there was a delay that lead to many doubting it's actual arrival..........
......finally it arrived.......in all it's glory..........unfortunately!
......I don't recommend watching the entire video........a minute here or there will put you firmly in the picture......

A sad ending to the company Yashica who prided themselves on excellent cameras and lenses .......................
.........finally years later the company (in name only) finishes up by treating their customers to a scam product..........
.......is it a scam? ......that depends on your definition.....legally probably not........
....So let's call it a morality scam!
.......any beneficial associations with the Yashica name..........have now been destroyed completely.....
Apparently the rights to Yashica including the name were sold to...............
JNC Datum Tech International in 2008........
