INTRODUCTIONThe Yashica Electro 35 GS is a 35mm film rangefinder camera made in Japan by Yashica in 1970. BEST SUITED FOR:
PERSONAL NOTESThe Yashica Electro 25 GS is a silver version of the popular Yashica rangefinders of the 70s. It has an acceptably sharp 45mm f1.7 lens, which is good for many light conditions. The camera is fun to use, the exposure is automatic, or bulb. You need a battery adapter to power the camera. The best thing about this camera, is that it's cheap. Don't get me wrong, I like it, but the finder is very dim. It's ok to work outside, but forget it indoors. CONCLUSIONThe Yashica Electro 35 GS is fun. It's a classic from the 70s and is a cheap way to experiment rangefinders. PHOTO SAMPLESVERDICT:
