The Yashica-D, sometimes known as the "Yashica-D 66," is, together with its variant the 635, the apex of the knob wind series-while unmetered, it has the best shutter and more convenient controls, making it a fairly modern SLR for its time. It has a Copal-MXV shutter, with shutter speeds of 1 - 1/500th and bulb. It provides a PC connector for flash sync; it is capable of X and M sync at all shutter speeds, and has a self-timer, which can only be used with the camera in X-sync mode (it depends on the same gearing as the M-sync timer.) Early models were equipped with a coated three-element Yashikor 80mm f/3.5 taking lens, while later models had the higher-quality, four-element Yashinon 80mm f/3.5 taking lens. The last Yashica-D models were equipped with bright 80mm f/2.8 Yashinon viewing lenses; models with this viewing lens and the Yashinon taking lens are very desirable on the used market.
Both lenses accept Bay I filters and hoods. A standard cold shoe on the right side is provided, as is standard quarter inch tripod bushing, sports finder, loupe, peg feet for taking exposures from flat surfaces, and lugs for then-common leather straps with buttonholes. In all the camera is provisioned to be an economical working photographer's TLR with no frustrating omissions.

Carmine, I very much enjoyed your thoughts on 120 and TLR cameras. I have a Yashica and love using it and the square format. Keep up the great videos.
