The Yashica D is still very usable, and will stun you with the fine image quality it can produce. It takes 120 film, still readily available, and will yield 12 shots per roll. The negatives are square, 56mm x 56mm, or approximately 2.25" x 2.25". However, because of their larger size, you can crop them to a rectangle if you choose, for printing. You will need a hand meter, or you can use the meter from another camera. It doesn't really have much monetary value though. Perhaps a hundred dollars or so at best. The later version, a Yashica Mat 124, can bring about twice that amount. Yashica (now Kyocera) has always produced quality cameras at reasonable prices, in my opinion.
