Yashica YF

[xwhatsit]

Can anyone tell me the filter size on the Yashica 50mm/1.8 that sits on the YF?

Filter size is 43mm. I'm not sure how I know that, maybe it says somewhere on the lens? Or I read it somewhere. Anyway, I know it's right, because I ordered a 43->46mm stepup ring, which now has arrived and fits perfectly.

Ok How do you load film on this thing?

Ok How do you load film on this thing?

It's a usual bottom loader, made easier by the flip-up rear door so you can see what you're doing. It's probably best to cut a long "Leica-style" leader, but I've got by with no leader at all, just a straight cut (I bulk load).

Here's a video of Tom A loading a Leica M2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyJf1xbFTrk .

Hello,
I recently obtained a Yashica YE in nice shape, but the emblem/badge that's found on the front of the unit is missing. Can anyone help me find a replacement? Many thanks.
