The Yashica J, manufactured in 1961 is a nice 35mm with styling cues similar to other Japanese rangefinder models. The lens is a relatively fast Yashinon f2.8 45mm and though the camera has limited settings, the ones it does have make it an enjoyable daily shooter.
The day I chose to shoot this was overcast and snow that had fallen a few days prior was still melting.
