To see our full range. Here we have a Yashica Electro 35 GT Black Classic Rangefinder Street Camera with Fast f1.7 45mm Lens in very good condition.

Complete with the original fitted case, lens cap, quality skylight filter and wide strap and a fresh battery (see below). A favourite route (back) into 35mm photography.

With a clear auto mode, just choose your aperture, focus with the clear rangefinder and shoot. Perfect for photography on the move.

Bodywork and cosmetic appearance: In very good condition with no significant marks or scratches. A few patches where the paint has been touched up neatly. Wind on and shutter release: Excellent mechanical order. Shutter: All speeds seem correct to the ear, including the slow speeds. Light meter: Responds appropriately to changes in light.

Over and Slow lights working correctly. Rangefinder: Clear patch and measuring accurately. Lens: Clean and clear with no scratches, fogging or fungus. Battery: A new 6v battery has been fitted so the camera is ready to go. This is much smaller than the original unavailable battery so a reliable card and foil surround has been fashioned to suit. The battery check light is working. Light seals: The main door seal has been replaced and the rear door cleaned and tidied. Please check the photos and description carefully. An item is only included if it specifically says that it is included. These are often very vintage cameras and they will not include instruction manuals (which are always easy to find online) or leads or any other accessories unless they are specifically mentioned.

Please ask if you are unsure. This is what Ken Rockwell has to say about this fabulous camera. The Yashica Electro 35 was one of the most popular consumer 35mm cameras of the 1960s and 1970s. They took it all over the world on their vacations, and came back with loads of great slides.

Everyone's grandparents had one. The Yashica Electro 35 is a solid metal camera. It has a big, clear viewfinder and rangefinder. It has a much clearer finder than the Nikon manual rangefinders of the 1950s that fetch astronomical prices from geriatric collectors. The Yashica Electro 35 was designed for consumers, but the great news for serious photographers is that the advanced features it had in 1966 are just what we need, and it doesn't have any of today's junk features that just get in the way.

The Yashica Electro 35 is an aperture-priority camera. Pick your aperture, and the Yashica Electro 35 selects the shutter speed, from 1/500 up to thirty seconds or more! It has a silent electronic leaf shutter.

It's quieter and and has less vibration than any of the clumsier focal-plane shutters of Leica and Nikon rangefinders, and no flipping mirrors like every DSLR. The only gotchas are that the Electro 35 has no auto-exposure lock and it's an almost all-auto camera. It only has three manual shutter speeds, and that's stretching it. It is designed for a no-longer available mercury battery, however modern alkaline replacements work fine.

This Yashica a solid metal camera. It is a joy to carry around compared to my hulking Nikon D3, but still has to be carried over-the-shoulder.
