Yashica 44LM
The Yashica 44LM is a 4×4cm twin-lens reflex camera that uses 127 roll film, produced by Yashica during the late 1950s. It was positioned as an affordable TLR alternative to the Rollei Baby Rolleiflex, offering a similar square-format shooting experience at a lower price point when new.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Yashica 44LM have ranged from around £62 to £100, with limited sales data putting the midpoint near £80. As of 2026, this places the 44LM at the modest end of the vintage TLR market, where condition, working shutter, and clean viewing screen significantly affect what an example sells for.
