Yashica 635
The Yashica 635 is a medium-format twin-lens reflex camera introduced in the late 1950s. Unusually for a TLR, it was designed to shoot both 120 roll film and, with a supplied adapter kit, 35mm film, which was its main point of differentiation when new.
At recent UK auction, the Yashica 635 has changed hands at hammer prices of roughly £40–£65, with a median around £56 across the sales on record. As of today the 635 sells for similar money to other entry-level Yashica TLRs, and value is heavily condition-led: examples retaining the original 35mm adapter kit and case tend to sit at the upper end of that range, while bodies with hazy viewing screens or sticky shutters trade lower.
