MF-1 Snapshot Art 35mm Film Camera
About the original
The Yashica MF-1 Snapshot Art is a reusable 35mm point-and-shoot camera with a fixed 31mm f/11 lens, a built-in flash with a dedicated AAA battery slot, and a single-use film loading design pre-loaded with a 27-exposure roll of Yashica 400 ISO color-negative film. Yashica was founded in Nagano, Japan in 1949 and was one of the country's major postwar camera makers before the brand was acquired and revived as a consumer-electronics label producing film point-and-shoots and accessories. The MF-1 is positioned as a low-cost, no-settings entry point into analog photography. The SS2021 Supreme collab adds box logo branding on the body.
About Yashica
Yashica is a Japanese camera brand founded in December 1949 by Yoshimasa Ushiyama in Nagano, Japan, originally as Yashima Seiki Company with eight employees making electric clock components. Yashima released its first camera, the Yashimaflex twin-lens reflex, in 1953 and was renamed Yashica in 1958. The Yashica Electro 35, launched in 1965, was the world's first commercially successful electronically controlled 35mm rangefinder and sold over eight million units across its variants. Kyocera absorbed Yashica in 1983 and ceased operations in 2008; the trademark was revived in 2015 by Hong Kong-based MF Jebsen International. Supreme collaborated with Yashica on an MF-1 35mm point-and-shoot camera.
