The Yashica Atoron is more than just a camera; it’s a testament to the precision engineering and timeless design of mid-century Japanese optics. This subminiature camera, a contemporary of the Minox B, offers a unique blend of portability and image quality.
Owning and using a Yashica Atoron is more than just taking pictures; it’s a journey into the history of photography. Nowadays you can buy the atoron (Porst KX50 and Revue Mini Star are identical) cheaply (working cameras from 20 $). I have been working intensively with this camera over the last few weeks and am fascinated. If you have an atoron yourself, please post sample pictures. I would be very interested in your experiences.
You can find an overview and tips on the camera here: https://moments-of-now.com/yashica-atoron/
If you are interested in the inner functions and repair instructions, you will find them here: https://moments-of-now.com/inside-yashica-atoron/
