Yashica T3
The Yashica T3 is a 35mm compact film camera with a fixed Carl Zeiss Tessar lens, part of the T-series of premium point-and-shoot cameras Yashica introduced during the 1980s. It was positioned as a pocketable autofocus compact aimed at photographers who wanted Zeiss optics in a small body.
With only a single confirmed UK auction record on file, pricing data for the T3 in 2026 is thin: the one logged hammer result sold for £151 at saleroom level (wholesale, before commission). Clean, fully working examples of Zeiss-lensed Yashica compacts tend to sell for more than rough copies, so condition has an outsized effect on what a T3 is worth today.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Yashica T3 worth today?
Based on the single UK auction hammer result on file, a Yashica T3 sold for £151; with such limited data, the price a given example sells for will depend heavily on cosmetic and mechanical condition.
How much does a Yashica T3 sell for at auction?
The only verified UK saleroom result in our records is £151 (hammer, excluding commission), so this figure should be treated as an indicative data point rather than a firm market value.
Is the Yashica T3 a good buyer's value?
For collectors who want a Zeiss Tessar lens in a compact 35mm body, the T3 can offer reasonable value, but the price you pay should reflect the working condition of the autofocus, shutter and LCD.
