Oft regarded as a Japanese interpretation of the baby Rolleiflex, the Yashica 44LM easily stands on its own as a capable small TLR. It’s compact size and solid build quality lends this camera to being carried on a regular basis.
As compared to the original 44, the LM has a semi-coupled selenium light meter and knob wind film advance. Oddly, double exposure prevention was not an option.
