This TLR was one of many issued from the Yashica plant in the 1970s. The D was a consumer-grade model, I believe, but it's no slouch when it comes to getting the image.
When I first was given this camera in 2001 by a co-worker, I was shooting with it all the time, and it seemed to be hard to screw up a shot.
Speed is a problem, though, what with the necessity of cocking the shutter before each shot, and the 12-on-120 keeps me from using it at weddings, say; but for portraits or other genres where that's not an issue, I'd choose this camera more than half the time.
