Why the New Yashica TL-Super Uses Integrated Measurement at Taking Aperture
Whichever system of thru-the-lens exposure control you personally are sold on in a single lens reflex, you should certainly be aware that they're all first rate. On-the-mirror, behind-the-mirror, integrated-full-aperture, integrated-stopped-down - take a thousand shots with each, and you'll get virtually perfect exposure nearly every frame. For the few times one system may prove superior, there will be other times when it will fail down. Why, then, did Yashica, which is one of the top selling brands in this country, choose the full screen (integrated) system measuring the precisely focused image at the actual shooting aperture? There are a number of important reasons, but perhaps the most important to you, as a photographer, is the fact that it permits you to use literally hundreds of the finest threaded lenses made by the world's top optical manufacturers, with no problems of linkage or coupling. Check the Yashica TL-Super at your dealer's; see how light it is, how easily it handles, how brilliantly it focuses. Then give it a work test. Unquestionably, you'll settle for nothing less. With Auto-Yashinon /DX 50mm f/1.7 lens, under $225. With Auto-Yashinon /DX 50mm f/1.4 lens, under $260.
Manufacturer description #2
TOP-LEVEL SYSTEM SLR WITH THRU-THE-LENS CdS METERING
Two CdS sensors located on both sides of the viewfinder eyepiece within the pentaprism housing take average reading of light transmitted through the lens at stopped-down aperture.
LENS: Auto Yashinon-DX 50mm f/1.4 or f/1.7. 6 elements in 5 groups (f/1.7); 7 elements in 6 groups (f/1.4). Unique amber-magenta combination coating and perfect flare compensation for edge-to-edge sharpness and ideal color reproduction even in difficult light. Aperture range from f/1.4 (f/1.7) to f/16. Depth-of-field preview bar. Screw-thread mount.
SHUTTER: Focal plane shutter. Speeds from 1 to 1/1000 sec., and B. Built-in self-timer. Automatic F.P-X sync. selector.
FOCUSING: Microprism focusing. Minimum focusing range 1.75 feet (0.5 meter) with Auto Yashinon-DX 50mm normal lens. Through-the-lens reflex viewfinder with Fresnel-backed screen for corner-to-corner brightness, ground-glass collar for depth-of-field analysis.
EXPOSURE CONTROL: Thru-the-Lens CdS metering system. Switch located beside the lens mount activates meter and sets diaphragm for manual operation. Correct exposure set by centering meter needle seen through the finder. ASA range from 25 to 800 (DIN 15-30). Operates on 1.5V silver oxide battery (Eveready S-76-E or equivalent).
