The Yashica 44 is a twin-lens reflex camera that takes 4x4cm square images on 127 roll film. It was introduced in the mid-1950s and positioned as a compact, lower-cost TLR aimed at amateur photographers, sitting beneath the larger 6x6 Yashica-Mat in the range.

Sales data for the Yashica 44 is thin, with one recorded UK auction hammer result of £88 in 2023 — a wholesale saleroom level rather than a retail asking price. On that limited evidence the camera sells for under £100 today, though clean, fully working examples with a clear viewing screen and a working shutter can be worth more, while the value of any individual body is highly condition-dependent.
