Yasuhara T981

The Yasuhara T981 is a 35mm rangefinder-style camera produced by the small Japanese maker Yasuhara. It was offered as a niche enthusiast model rather than a mainstream production camera.

Sales data for the T981 is extremely limited, so any view of its current value is provisional. The single recorded UK auction hammer result sits at £350, which is the only saleroom reference point available today and reflects a wholesale price rather than a retail figure. Buyers asking what a Yasuhara T981 is worth in 2026 should treat that figure as indicative only, since one data point cannot establish a reliable range.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Yasuhara T981 worth?

On the only verified UK auction record available, a Yasuhara T981 sold for £350 at hammer, but with just one data point this should be treated as a guide rather than a firm market value.

How much does a Yasuhara T981 sell for at auction?

The available UK saleroom evidence shows a single hammer price of £350, and clean, complete examples would likely be needed to achieve that level again given how thinly the model trades.

Is the Yasuhara T981 a rare camera?

Yes — Yasuhara was a small-scale Japanese manufacturer and the T981 appears very infrequently at auction, which is why pricing references for it are sparse.
