Fully Refurbished

This camera has been inspected, cleaned & refurbished by our camera department. It comes with a full 3 month warranty

The Yashica T3 feels like a small miracle in plastic and glass—a sleek black companion built for the kind of wandering photographer who chases good light, not good fortune. Its Carl Zeiss T* 35mm f/2.8 lens cuts through haze and nostalgia alike, rendering the world with startling crispness and contrast that borders on poetic. There’s a humility to its form—simple lines, honest textures, and a pop-up viewfinder that invites you to slow down and really see. It’s the kind of camera that transforms the everyday into something cinematic—rain-slick streets, fogged windows, neon signs flickering through dusk—all rendered with that unmistakable Zeiss clarity and quiet soul.

Photos That Impress

The Yashica T3 is a 35mm autofocus compact camera produced by Kyocera in the late 1980s. It features a Carl Zeiss T Tessar 35mm f/2.8 lens*, renowned for its sharpness, color fidelity, and minimal distortion. Autofocus is controlled by an active infrared system, and exposure is fully automatic with a programmed shutter speed range of 1/630 s to 1 s and an aperture range of f/2.8–f/16. It includes both a main viewfinder and a top-mounted waist-level “Super Scope” viewfinder, allowing low-angle composition. The built-in flash supports automatic and forced modes, and the camera has DX-code reading for film speeds from ISO 50 to 1600. It’s powered by a 6 V lithium battery (2CR5) and weighs roughly 280 g.

Technicals

How we Refurbish Our Cameras

All of our cameras undergo extensive refurbishments before they’re offered for sale. Each body is carefully inspected for corrosion, rust, lubrication issues, stiffness, and other mechanical concerns. We perform a cleaning, lubricate and adjust mechanisms, and ensure every moving part is properly working.

Where needed, wires are re-soldered, and electronic circuits go through a electronic systems evaluation to confirm they meet standards.

We also complete light seal replacements to prevent light leaks and preserve image quality. Lenses are checked for fungus, mold, haze, and impairing scratches, and our lens technician performs full CLAs when necessary. Aperture blades are guaranteed to move smoothly, free of oil or debris, and calibrated for precise operation.

From top to bottom, every camera we sell is restored with care to ensure it performs beautifully and lasts for years to come.
Warranty, Returns and Exchanges

You can view our whole warranty policy here. Cameras come with a 3 month warranty and are guaranteed working and fully refurbished.

We accept returns on cameras in 14 days after sale with a 15% restocking fee. Returned items must be brought back to us in the same physical condition they got to you.
Delivery & Pickup

We ship most orders same day, but our processing times are based on 2 day delivery. We delivery via USPS & UPS or whatever carrier you select. Most domestic shipments are delivered within 2-4 days.

It is always free to choose pickup in store and your item is typically ready within a few hours
Grading

We offer two cosmetic grades for some of our refurbished cameras: A Grade and B Grade.

Every camera we sell is fully refurbished and mechanically reliable. The difference comes down to appearance. A Grade cameras are in excellent cosmetic condition, while B Grade models may show light cosmetic wear such as small scratches, minor dings, or faint rust spots that cannot be removed. These marks are never excessive and do not affect function.

Because of these surface imperfections, B Grade cameras are offered at a discounted price. Any cameras with heavier cosmetic damage are not listed for sale online—they’re reserved for flea markets or used for parts.

Even at the B Grade level, you can expect a camera that meets our high standards of quality and performance.
