35mm conversion kit for Yashica 44

• Fits your Yashica 44 (original version with crank) perfectly. (See the complete list below.)
• 127 film is a thing of the past: Use standard 35mm film and achieve the distinctive sprocket-hole look.
• No automatic rewinding: After shooting, the film must be manually rewound into the cartridge inside a changing bag.
• Camera modification required: The spring-steel parts and the upper film roller in the film chamber must be removed for installation.
• Viewfinder cropping: Since 35mm film is narrower than the 127 format, only the center area of the focusing screen will be exposed.

Note

The red frame counter window on the back must be completely covered with light-proof tape, as 35mm film has no backing paper. This set was designed exclusively for the Yashica 44 with crank transport; it is not suitable for the 44LM or 44A.

Scope of delivery

• 1x pressure plate with film guide
• 2x spool adapters (spindles for the 35mm cartridge)

Technical specifications

• Material: Technical plastic
• Color: Black
