Yashica Samurai X4.0
The Yashica Samurai X4.0 is a half-frame 35mm autofocus camera with an SLR-style vertical grip body, produced as part of Yashica's Samurai range introduced in the late 1980s. It was positioned as a bridge-style consumer camera offering zoom capability in a single-handed format.
Sales data is thin: a single 2026 UK auction hammer result of £75 is the only recent reference point, so a meaningful price range cannot yet be established. As of today, that figure reflects a wholesale saleroom level for one example and should not be read as a firm market value; condition, working electronics and a clean lens will all influence what a Samurai X4.0 sells for.
