    Decent Camera

    It's camera with programmed shutter, which makes it easy to use. Sometimes the light meter tends to overexpose my pictures, I don't know whether it is the problem with my camera or not. Maybe set the ISO a little higher than the ISO of the film that is used would help. Got this camera for 35 bucks, really worth it.

  • Top critical review

    Too good to be true as usual.

    A clean Yashica Electro 35 GSN on the outside, but the battery compartments wiring had corroded, and detached from the internal electronics. Two stars because it still makes a beautiful paperweight.

  • A very useable camera with a great lens.

    The lens produces very sharp images with good contrast and color rendition with Kodak ColorPlus 200 film. The light meter is giving good exposures. The POD is working in this camera and doesn't need replacement. The shutter button does stick down, but the shutter works normally. The metal lens barrel was dented on the end, preventing screw in filters from being used. The light seals needed replaced, but no light leaks on the images taken before they were replaced.

  • Yashica Electro 35 CLA Service

    I'm very happy with the job iphoto* did on my Electro 35. It was in decent shoe but it just didn't operate correctly. Mark did a great job he also replaced the POD and the filter ring (which was bent out of shape) and sent the camera back with a battery adapter and a fresh battery. I have a few more of these cameras and when I can they will all get CLA'd by Mark. Thanks!

  • Great camera but becareful

    These cameras are great rangefinder however there are little things that should be looked at and shown when buying or selling one. For example is there battery corrosion and foggy and dusty view finders. Both of these things are fixable but it does save time if mentioned or shown. All of these cane be easily fixed however. The camera if in working order is a great addition to a camera collection or starting camera for film photography. It is a very versatile camera for what it is and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one if presented the chance.

  • Absolutely amazing for price

    A good, sturdy camera that takes amazing pictures. Shutter is quiet, which makes it good for street photography. It's a little hard to focus (as with any rangefinder camera) but doesn't take too long to get used too.

  • Happy with the outcome

    As one might expect when purchasing a vintage camera, there were some hiccups in the process, but everything has turned out to be perfectly fine. The original camera that I ordered did not work as represented, and the seller offered to send me another one of the same model that was for sale on his site, even though the second camera was priced slightly higher. I did not have to pay the difference, nor did I have to pay any additional shipping, and the seller refunded the cost of my shipping the damaged camera back to him. The one I have now works as advertised, and I'm very pleased with the camera, the price I paid, the service of the seller, and the quality of the pictures I have taken with this camera.

  • Yashica Electro 35 GS/GSN

    I had this as my first camera as a boy in 1978. It is the best rangefinder camera in my opinion. They are made with outstanding quality, and the lenses are exceptional. I highly recommend these for street photography, monochrome, and color film. Make sure to order the telephoto/wide angle lens attachment . You can also find them on EBAY for a cheap price. You can also order the battery adapter kit on EBAY. Do yourself a favor and buy at least one. Get the light seals redone in by a camera shop and verify before you purchase that the shutter is operational and is battery & film tested.

  • Overall good camera

    The only real problems with this camera is the battery no longer being made, and the pad of death; both of which have easy solutions
