Yashica's 220-film 6x6 TLR — fixed-lens twin-lens reflex, CdS meter, waist-level finder, 1968.

The Yashica 24 is a fixed-lens medium-format twin-lens reflex made by Yashica in the late 1960s, sold alongside the Yashica 12. Where the 12 handled standard 120 film, the 24 was set up for the thinner 220 roll film to give twenty-four exposures per loading, hence the name. It belongs to the metered mid-range of the Yashica TLR family.

It is a twin-lens reflex shooting 6x6cm square frames, designed around 220 roll film for twenty-four frames per roll. Like all TLRs it has a separate taking lens for the film and a paired viewing lens feeding the mirror and ground-glass screen, focused by knob and composed through a waist-level finder. The shutter is a leaf type in the front lens standard rather than a focal-plane shutter, and the body carries a built-in CdS exposure meter.

The Yashica 24 offers an affordable metered path into 6x6, suiting portraits, landscape and general use where the waist-level style suits a slower pace. Its 220 film base is now a practical limitation, as 220 stock is scarce, though many users run 120 in it while ignoring the higher frame count. It is otherwise quiet and straightforward to handle.

When checking a used body, inspect the taking and viewing lenses for haze, fungus and separation, and test the focus knob for smooth travel. Fire the leaf shutter at several speeds and confirm the aperture works on the front standard. Check the film-wind, counter and pressure plate, since the 24's plate is set for 220 film. Look at the ground glass for brightness, and verify the CdS meter, which used a mercury cell and is often inaccurate now, against a separate meter.
