![]() ![]() So, I figured I’d take it upon myself to write one!Īs stated previously this fixed lens rangefinder camera was constructed with a 40 mm f1.7 lens with a very smooth focusing ring. ![]() For a decent price tag of $135, I thought this would be a fine camera to add to my collection! On further investigation, there are very few in-depth reviews of this model. Overall, while not as groundbreaking a find as certain Canon or Nikon models this tiny rangefinder was in mint condition. I wouldn’t use it for indoor scenes but we will go over that a bit more in-depth later. That being said, the 40 mm f1.7 lens gets the job done for most outdoor shooting environments. However, this Yashica model was made to be a quick shooting “on-the-go” type of camera. It is a fixed lens, meaning there’s no way to change out the focal lengths which may be a deal-breaker for some shooters. Manufactured in Japan from 1975 to 1980, coming across this 40-year-old camera in such great condition was quite the find. The Yashica Electro 35 GX is a lightweight and extremely compact rangefinder-style camera that shoots 35 mm film. This gem immediately caught my eye and I knew I had to have it if I didn’t purchase I knew someone else would! I made my way to the back shelves where one particular booth frequently sold old, vintage film cameras. I bought this camera about 2 years ago while pursuing through my local thrift store.
