The Yashica Rapide is a half-frame 35mm camera produced by Japanese maker Yashica, recording vertical 18×24mm frames on standard 35mm film. Its upright, slim body shape distinguishes it from conventional horizontal 35mm compacts of the period.

Sales data for the Yashica Rapide is thin: a single tracked UK auction result hammered at £81 in October 2022, which sets the only firm reference point for what one is worth at saleroom level today. With just one wholesale data point, buyers should treat this as indicative rather than a reliable median, and condition will move the price meaningfully in either direction.
