About this product

Product Information

The Yashica TL Electro is a single-lens reflex (SLR) camera with interchangeable lenses that was made and sold by the Japanese company Yashica from 1972 and is considered a classic by retro camera enthusiasts. It is a rear-loading camera that winds with a film advance lever and uses 35mm film. Although it has an electronic shutter and settings indicator, there is no automation; things like the lighting settings must be studied and set by the photographer. Hence, it is a mechanical manual device that works via electronics. It comes with all the necessary features for a professional or amateur photographer who likes to do things the old way. Some of these ’70s innovations include a mechanical self-timer, a hot shoe that is built in for flash photography, manual settings for shutter speeds and other light settings, and focusing or zooming by hand. These SLRs were the first cameras with a viewfinder that had electronic lights for exposure information (miniature lamps inside rather than the LEDs of today). They were also the first with a mechanical shutter with stepless electronic timing, which operates at any medium speed between two seconds and 1/1000 of a second. This gives accurate light and setting read-outs. The Yashica reflex uses a micro prism mirror focusing spot, ground-glass collar, and DOF preview button. There are two lights in the viewfinder that indicate over and under exposure and point toward the direction in which the aperture ring should be turned. The correct setting is indicated by adjusting either the aperture ring or shutter speed dial. This Yashica TL Electro camera comes as a body only, but as it has a Pentax screw mount, you have plenty of great options for lenses. Some of the brands you can mount include Tamron (for example the 35 to 70mm) and Pentax/Praktica (any standard M42 screw mount). This Yashica retro device has a horizontal cloth (vertical metal on X model) shutter and a metal focal plane with speeds of 1/1000 to 1 second. Its built-in flash is a hot and syncro-x that works at speeds of 1/60 or MF at 1/30. There is also a self-timer for selfies or when you want everyone in a shot, which you set as 8 to 9. These cameras use a ratchet-type, single-stroke wind lever to advance the camera roll within the device (35mm; you can use ISO from 25 to 800), which has a nice, comforting sound and feel for vintage Yashica fans. They are powered with 6 volts from a single PX28A battery. This battery is still readily available in supermarkets and all kinds of photographic stores. It also has a great retro look to them with its silver metal body and texture black grips. It weighs about 34.5 oz. The front element is recessed to protect it from bumps and scratches, and it feels solid and dependable in your hands. This Yashica classic is a solid, compact, and reliable vintage photographic device with a great, old fashioned feel for slow photographers and art photographers or anyone who is just into photos with atmosphere.

    Shutter works correctly

    Bought to replace M42 camera with suspicious shutter speeds. The meter works. Loading the film was easy. Haven't finished shooting the film. It has hot shoe, some of the Spomatic dont have.

  • Yashica TL Electro SLR 35mm Film Camera

    This camera is great for the beginner or the professional photographer. It's very easy to use and is adaptable for all lighting situations. A wide range of film types can be used with this camera allowing for any imaginable photos anywhere. The adjustable flash permits direct lighting or can be used as a bounce flash. The doubler enhances the cameras ability to take long range shots in permissible light which can be determined readily with the built in light meter. The sun filter would be good for beach or snow shots when using the appropriate ASA film type such as 400. The camera is also quite capable of high speed shots using 800 ASA. First chance you get to pick one of these nice cameras up...do it!

  • Yashica Electro 35 RF is a fun camera

    ebay review function selected wrong camera as I bought the Yashica Electro 35 Rangefinder and not the SLR. Film photography is fun. Rangefinders are fun. Yashica Electro 35 is film and a rangefinder. Only complaint is it is large.

  • AM ONLY A SMALL COLLECTOR. LOVE OLD ARCHITECTUR IN THE CAMERAS

    ARCHITECTURE IN ALL HIS BEAUTIFUL COMPOSITION. COMPACTED PERFECTLY. VERY BALANCED IN SHOOTING. WONDER EVEN THE VERY OLD ELECTRONIC. A BEAUTIFUL CAMERA!! The only problem is to locate the type of battery, BUT IT IS ONLY FOR TELEMETRY
