Yashica Electro 35 GT Rangefinder Camera Black Model – Used – Near Mint
£144.00
The Yashica Electro 35 GT from 1969 is a full-size, fixed-lens 35mm rangefinder camera with a fast Color Yashinon DX 1:1.7 f=45mm lens, Copal Elec leaf shutter, X-flash synchronization socket, self-timer, and coupled CdS meter for aperture-priority auto-exposure. Set the f-stop (from 1.7 to 16), and the electronically controlled stepless shutter sets the appropriate shutter speed. Depress the shutter-release part way, and lights on the camera top (which are also visible in the viewfinder) will warn of shutter speeds slower than 1/30 (orange) or faster than 1/500 (red). If the lights flash only momentarily, the shutter-speed falls within that range. The continuous reading CdS cell and electronic circuitry are capable of precisely timed exposures from 1/500 of a second to 30 seconds or longer. The viewfinder is tinted blue for better contrast with the rangefinder spot, and the frame lines automatically adjust for parallax. The GT added to the Electro name mean that the electrical contacts are gold-plated to resist corrosion and signify the black version. This particular camera is the later version of the GT, with film-speed settings from ASA 25 to 1000 and a flat bottom plate and back that opens by pulling up the rewind lever.
Included: Battery and adapter, UV filter, Yashica lens cap, Yashica genuine leather ever-ready case, nylon neck strap
