Yashica 35 ME
The Yashica 35 ME is a 35mm film compact camera from Yashica's range of fixed-lens rangefinder/viewfinder models. It sits in the affordable end of the brand's 1970s 35mm line-up, aimed at casual photographers wanting a simple metered camera.
Sales data for the Yashica 35 ME is very thin, with only a single recorded UK auction hammer result of £30 in August 2024. On that limited evidence, the 35 ME today sells for a low double-digit figure at saleroom level, and its value in 2026 should be treated as indicative rather than firmly established. Condition, working meter and clean optics are likely the main factors influencing what one is worth.
