Yashica, one of the more polarizing camera brands, is teasing a new product for 2022. The company hasn't made much noise in the photography space since its successful three-camera Kickstarter in 2019, which came after the disastrous launch of the Y35 in 2018.

Yashica may be the latest iconic photography brand to be plotting a big comeback. The Japanese camera brand has been teasing a "coming chapter" through a series of enigmatic teaser videos titled "The Silence of Story." The 1-minute video above is a compilation of three of these teasers.
