YASHICA DENTAL EYE - PhotoCamel

spazoid1965 · 03-26-2008

I've seen quite a few YASHICA DENTAL EYE cameras selling dirt cheap on Ebay. Does anyone have any expeirence with one of these cameras? It seems like a inexpensive route for a close up lens with built in ring flash.

I haven't used one but it looks interesting for macro. The flash is in the lens itself, and the lens is fixed to the body. The downside is you better like that lens, since you can't change it. The original version had a 50mm lens, and the later versions went to a 100mm lens.

Yashica is a well respected camera manufacturer. I imagine it is a decent camera. If it stands up to day-to-day use at a dentist office, it should work for macro.

Several years ago we used one of these cameras in the clinic to photograph skin lesions. It was a simple set-up and worked reliably and well. I don't recall exactly what image magnification you could get but I estimate around 1:2.
