My Yashica Electro 35 GT rangefinder. Picked up this camera cheap on eBay after being recommended it and wanting to try out a rangefinder. All I can say is, this is a NICE camera!

This was new to me, I did not know that the fab Electro 35 CC had a small sister, the FC. Using the same body, but with a more "normal" lens, 40mm instead of 35mm. The camera bears a close resemblance with the Canonet series, but being black, it is very handsome and discrete. A bit too plasticky when compared with the Canonet, I find it much more attractive to use, thanks to the aperture priority exposure system. As with the CC, exposure info amounts to zero, so one has to be careful. Although it says Electro 35, the chassis is entirely different from the famous series. It is much more compact and considerably lighter.
Found this at a local shop. Very nice condition for being nearly forty-years-old. Found out it takes a HUGE PX32A battery. The thing is about as big as a roll of candy. At 6.0V, it's about half what you need to start your car, and is almost big enough to do so.
Hard to see here, but the Electro AX has a large prism area, wider and taller than contemporary cameras. Probably due to the space needs of early electronics. When you wind the camera, the lens stops down and the light meter goes to work. The camera has an automatic mode, but this stop-down system probably didn't earn the camera points for ease of use.
The second-to-last of the Yashica TL SLR cameras, the TL Electro has one of the most delightful meter displays of any SLR camera. Shown with the magnificent Yashinon DX 50/1.7 lens. Not to cause any consternation among Pentax Takumar fans, but this is among the finest 50mm M42 lenses ever made. It renders color and black and white equally well, although the former is where it really shines, and wide open, it is dreamy, and creamy, and smooth.
I modded my Yashica Electro GT to be used in full manual mode by adding shutter speed control. Actually it is nothing more than a handful of resistors crammed under a dial switch. Beta stage means numbers written on paper disc; resistors easily spottable. Once i get the results from the test film, i may replace those resistors with smd ones for more prettyness. Or i just smudge more hotglue around them. Anyway, the software scope in my pc shows pretty nice results, so I just inserted the first roll to test it. My Lunasix is already giggeling all the day after the long depression it had over the advent of digital photography. Boy am I happy this seems to work!

Eddie Dork (1894-1986), Cleveland News
Edward Dork, known to nearly everyone as "Eddie," worked as a photographer for the Cleveland News. He spent 50 years in the Cleveland newspaper business as a photographer beginning in November 1908 as an "office boy" for the Cleveland Leader. He then transitioned to Cleveland News where as a teenager he worked as a photographer's assistant until he worked his way up to photographer. Eddie served in World War I as a cook in the U.S. Army (he was not allowed to have a gun because of his German descent). Early in his career, Eddie made a name for himself as a photographer for the News by covering such historic events as the Lorain Tornado of 1924, the Cleveland Clinic disaster of 1929, the Ohio Penitentiary fire of 1933, and the East Ohio Gas explosion in 1944.

A recent visitor to my photostream asked for my thoughts on the these two cameras. Random and rambling as they are, I'm posting them here In case they're useful to anyone else...
The GT was my first rangefinder and I've shot half a dozen or so rolls with it. I've been extremely pleased with the results, and I enjoy using it a lot. I've found its meter to be astonishingly accurate (I ran a slide film through in various lighting conditions and it was bang on every time). I haven't tested the CC's meter in the same way yet, but I've no reason to think it any different. I've shot black & white more with the CC and have been very pleased. The leaf shutters of both cameras are very quiet and unobtrusive. They are both solid, hefty cameras, the CC a bit lighter and more compact. Of the two, I find it more comfortable to grasp the GT, having long fingers. The lenses on both deserve their great reputation. Personally, I prefer a focal length greater than 35mm, so I lean towards the GT more. For me, the parallax-corrected framelines of the GT have the edge: the CC's uncorrected viewfinder is a bit disappointing after using it, with the end of the lens clearly visible at all focusing distances.
A few other technical things to be aware of:
- the CC has no depth of field markings on the lens barrel, unlike the GT
- the CC's ISO range is only 25-500 (the GT has 25-1000)
- the GT also has bulb and flash modes; the CC doesn't have either
- the CC accepts a "regular" filter size of 52mm, as against 55mm on the GT; I use 55-52mm reducer on the GT without problems
- relatedly, the CC meters through filters, whereas on the GT you must compensate manually.
Some quirks I've noticed:
- I find it easy to dislodge the lid of the CC's battery compartment, which is right next to my thumb when shooting.
- The short lens barrel of the CC means the aperture ring is close to the focusing collar, so it's easy to alter focus by mistake when changing aperture.
- Focusing direction: infinity is at the left hand end with the CC, but on the right with the GT.
Some mechanical niggles:
- The battery check buttons have been problematic on both, with the connecting wires breaking or coming unsoldered. But you don't really need them if your under-/overexposure lights work (though these only function if the shutter's cocked). I like the fact that on the GT, they're visible on the top plate, whereas with the CC they're only in the viewfinder.
- If you buy one that hasn't been serviced recently, its "Pad of Death" is likely to cause strange problems. If you're willing to have a go yourself, it's not too hard to fix. My two came to me with this exact problem, and I still managed to fix them myself. They were the first two cameras I'd ever taken apart, and I'm not particularly technical.
In summary, in terms of price and considering their age, I can't rate Electro 35s highly enough. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another GT(N)/GSN. I think with the CC you're paying mainly for scarcity as well as more compactness, but to my mind a lower spec overall. But then I would really like to try the still rarer and more expensive GX...
The Lego Electro I ordered came in and he is awesome. I decided to order this because I didn't want want to buy the set since i just wanted the fig.
