Philippe, I've never owned a Yashica camera.  The camera I recall was an East German SLR bought from a coworker, but there were so many of those that I can't be sure of the brand name.

Jim,

Did you ever own or use a Yashica J 3 or 5 . The battery compartment on the 
left hand side of the VF hints at that series.

I don’t remember a Practica with the battery located there. But of course, I’m 
so human, and so prone to error as a result ;-)

Hi Wayne.  I was afraid someone would ask that. Based on the position of the 
shutter release, I believe it to be a Praktika SLR that I bought used when my 
eyesight began to get too weak for a Leica LTM rangefinder.

As most of us realize, the family photographer seldom appeared in vacation pictures back in 
the film era.  My youngest son sent me this one tonight that he found in his 
files.  In 1971, when he was 10 yrs old, I had given him a simple camera to take on a 
trip to visit Mississippi relatives, Vicksburg, etc.  He shot this at my old family home.

Things are a lot different with today's cell phone cameras.
What camera is that in your hand?
