Yashica 35GT Electro Analogue camera

A splendid 1970s rangefinder camera, the Yashica Electro 35 GT is the black version ('black paint') of the famous Electro series, highly regarded for its elegant design and build quality.

The heart of this machine is the renowned fixed Color-Yashinon DX 45mm f/1.7, a bright and sharp lens that has made this series legendary for its quasi-three-dimensional rendering and soft bokeh. The camera operates in aperture-priority mode with a continuously variable electronic shutter (hence the name "electro"), capable of handling very long automatic night exposures.

The specimen in the photo is in good overall cosmetic condition. The black finish, usually delicate, shows a nice vintage patina. It is complete with its original strap and a small attached accessory (it appears to be a cap holder or a battery adapter, since these machines originally used the now-discontinued 5.6V mercury batteries, but they can be easily adapted with modern batteries).
