Yashica Electro 35 GSN 35mm Rangefinder Film Camera with 45mm f1.7 Lens
This camera needs an adapter to run on a modern 4LR44 battery, which is included with the camera.
Description:
Spider man’s camera! The Electro 35 GSN is one of the most loved rangefinders of its era, and it is easy to understand why. The 45mm f/1.7 Yashinon lens is fast, sharp, and produces beautifully rendered images with a smooth quality that holds up well even today. The GSN, introduced in 1973, was the first in the Electro series to include a hot shoe, making it the most practical version for flash photography. It works in aperture priority, meaning you set the aperture and the camera's electronic shutter finds the right speed automatically, ranging steplessly from 1/500s all the way down to 30 seconds for low light or long exposure work. The leaf shutter is remarkably quiet, which makes it a good choice for street photography and candid shooting. It is a larger, more substantial camera than most compacts, but that weight gives it a stable, confident feel in the hand. A classic that rewards anyone who takes the time to learn it.
