The Yashica Pentamatic is a 35mm SLR introduced at the start of the 1960s, positioned as Yashica's entry into the eye-level pentaprism SLR market. It uses a focal-plane shutter and was sold as a moderately priced alternative to the established Japanese SLR brands of the period.

With only a single recorded UK auction hammer result to reference, pricing data for the Pentamatic is thin: the most recent sale in February 2025 fetched £55 at saleroom level, which gives a rough indication of what a working example is worth in today's market. Because this is a wholesale auction figure rather than a dealer asking price, retail examples in 2026 typically sell for somewhat more, and condition, cosmetic wear and the presence of a matching lens have an outsized effect on what any given body sells for.
