Prices for film cameras are on the rise and especially Leica rangefinder cameras are becoming more and more expensive. Therefore, people are looking for alternatives that don't break the bank. The Yashica Electro 35 is a rangefinder with a fixed 45mm lens and if 50mm is your focal length it could well be a valid alternative to a Leica body.
See you in the next one! :)

Looks like a nice camera, would be nice to see another review with it. Still I guess it is mainly the photographer who makes the picture :-) I like the one with the reflections best. Thanks for sharing

I got the prints and in print the are so much nicer than on KZfaq. Also the xpan zine really impressed me. The Berlin shoots in the zine add pretty nicely to your recent videos. Thanks again, two of the prints are already framed and on the wall

Thank you for the fun review. If the battery dies. Set the shutter to the lightning bolt. Now it’s a fixed 1/30 of a second. Use sunny 16 and keep shooting. I have been shooting with the first generation electro 35 for five years. Never had battery problems. It is a joy to shoot. Chris

Because of you, I bought one and restored it. Bought it for a little over $20 with electrical problems and didn't have many hoped of using it beyond the 'box speed' but, after finally getting time, and not being willing to throw in the towel, I got it working again :D

The Electro 35 was my first Rangefinder and my first vintage camera repair when I got back into photography in 2009 or so and I still love it, even after owning many many many other cameras. I know this video is 2 years old, but I'd love to see you shoot this more, especially some BW. I find it really likes XP2 with an orange filter, and I've added a nice silver square lens hood and take it alongside my M240 with 35mm. And I love hearing that Ka-thunk of the pad...very unique.

Just a few days ago I shot Fuji Industrial 100 for the first time, too, and I am really pleased by the colors and the tonality of this film. Fun fact - I bought the film a few months ago in Berlin when I stayed there for a few days. I strolled around the government quarter like you and took a lot of shots there. So, your video is kind of a nice reminder of my summer trip. And as always, very nice shots, Robin👍😉👋!

I’ve had a couple of these cameras. They helped cement my love for rangefinders. The first worked great and I loved it so much, but then it died unexpectedly. I tried to get it fixed, but it wasn’t repairable.. the second worked ok, but never really felt the same, so I saved a little while and got a Leica to replace it. I really miss the Yashica’s lens though. Also..there sure seems to be a lot of people out shooting where you are in this video.

Great clear pictures well focused, color and light balance. This type of Yashica Electro 35 had great reputation and was compared with great cameras in its time. Also it's a great film camera for street photography because it is quite. Every time I'm looking at picture results, I'm impressed. Of course, with a real photographer, it's a bonus. 👍

@odin626 3 жыл бұрын

Sometimes I use two zip ties to make a DIY focusing tab. I also fiddle with the iso dial a lot for exposure compensation when I'm using mine. :) It was my first rangefinder and would probably be my "one" camera if I had to choose one.

Great video! Great film stock and great camera. I have to say as far as a "leica alternative" goes, I love my canon canonet ql17 giii. The canon is nice and fast. Great glass at a great cost. The images I get from my canon beat any other rangefinder in its price range. Even way past its price range. If you enjoy the yaschica, then you can't go wrong with the canon canonet ql17 giii. The canonet series also has many other varients, but the ql17 giii being at the top from what I've found from my research, and I've only used one other being the ql19 (f1.9 instead of the f1.7). I highly recommend! Again great video

Nice video. The Yashica Lynx and the Minolta Hi-Matic 7 is also a good option and with those the shutter is all mechanical so you don't need a battery except for the meter.
