Yashica FR I
The Yashica FR I is a 35mm film SLR from the Japanese maker Yashica, sold during the late 1970s as part of the FR series of manual-focus single-lens reflex cameras.
Sales data for the FR I is extremely thin: a single UK auction hammer result of £10 is on record from 2023, which reflects wholesale saleroom level rather than a retail asking price. With only one data point, it is not possible to publish a reliable price range or median for what the body is worth in 2026, and condition and lens inclusion are likely to swing values significantly.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Yashica FR I worth today?
On the available evidence — a single UK auction sale at £10 hammer in 2023 — the FR I sits at the low end of the vintage SLR market, but one result is not enough to set a firm value.
How much does a Yashica FR I sell for at auction?
The only recorded hammer price in our data is £10, achieved at UK auction in 2023; current sells-for figures will depend heavily on cosmetic condition, working order, and whether a lens is included.
Is the Yashica FR I a good buy for film shooters?
As a budget entry into 35mm SLR shooting it can make sense at a low price, provided the shutter, meter, and seals are checked before purchase.
