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.

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.

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 could be one of the cheapest rangefinder cameras in the markets. However, this camera is still pretty playful and enjoyable little toy for the photographers, especially for those who like film photography.This model, GSN or a GTN, first came out at 1973-1974, at that time it was the most popular consumers model. It takes very decent pictures, with the batteries in (2X LR44, 1X CR123), it has a simple meter system to tell you slow(under 1/30) and fast(over 1/500). It means that this camera is fully in the Av(Aperture priory mode), the only this you need to do is the focusing and aperture rings adjustments. Generally, if you like film photography, and couldn't not affort a Leica or Zeiss Ikon, get this one or Canon's small range finder, you would be satisfied with them. -BenRead full review
It is a great camera to start using Ranngefinders. It has a great and fast lens that will provide nice and sharp images. It cannot be compared with the best analog rangefinders but it a great camera for it's price. The main issue with the cameras from this period is the batteries which cannot be found in some countries, so if you are pretty sure that you will have problems finding 6V batteries, you should purchase some and a battery adapter on Ebay when you buy your Yashica. Accesories are just that, don't bother on buying the tele and wide lenses, they are useless, unless they come bundled. Overall, it is a great budget rangefinder camera, I would recommend it for starters, photography students and casual photographers.
