Yashica Penta J w/ Yashinon 5cm f/2 – Classic M42 SLR, Needs Service (Sold As-Is)

This is a Yashica Penta J 35mm SLR paired with the original Yashinon 5cm f/2 lens. A solid early M42 mount shooter from the 1960s, built like a tank and fitted with one of Yashica’s underrated fast primes.

Condition is fair for its age. The camera winds and fires, but the slower speeds (1/15” and below) hang open longer than they should—definitely needs servicing if you’re planning to shoot seriously. Viewfinder is usable, and the lens has some internal dust but nothing that screams major optical concern. Focus and aperture rings move smoothly.

A great candidate for repair, restoration, or display. Priced to sell, and sold strictly as-is.
