Yashica's 4x4 baby TLR — Yashikor 60mm f/3.5, Copal-SV 1-1/500, twelve 4x4 frames on 127 film, 1958.

The Yashica-44 was a twin-lens reflex introduced in 1958 as Japan's first 4x4cm TLR, producing twelve square exposures on 127 rollfilm. A scaled-down sibling of Yashica's 6x6 TLRs and a rival to the Rolleiflex Baby, it was offered in several colour finishes and spawned the simplified 44A and the metered 44LM before production ended around 1965.

The taking lens is a three-element Yashikor 60mm f/3.5, mounted in a Copal-SV shutter with speeds from 1 to 1/500 plus B, switchable M/X flash synchronisation and a PC socket. The original 44 uses crank film advance with automatic frame spacing after aligning frame 1 in the red window, though the shutter is cocked manually with a lever and there is no double-exposure interlock.

As a fully mechanical camera it needs no battery and rewards deliberate, waist-level shooting; the square 4x4 negative is usefully larger than 35mm while the body stays far smaller than a 6x6 TLR. It suits collectors — the colour versions especially — and film shooters who enjoy the format, though the triplet lens is characterful rather than clinical wide open.

127 film is no longer mass-produced, so usability depends on boutique-cut or respooled stock, which affects running costs. Check the shutter fires at all speeds and the slow speeds do not stick, the crank advance spaces frames, the mirror and screens are clean, and the taking lens is free of haze and fungus. Remember to cock the shutter manually and guard against accidental double exposures.
