Description from the seller

Yashica Electro 35 rangefinder film camera (Color-Yashinon 45mm f/1.7), tested and working.

Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.

The Yashica Electro 35, introduced in 1966, is one of the most beloved 35mm rangefinder cameras ever made. Its fast Color-Yashinon 45mm f/1.7 lens and aperture-priority automatic exposure (with a stepless electronic shutter) made it famous for low-light shooting — earning the nickname "the candid camera." A battery is required for the electronic shutter.

IMPORTANT — Please read carefully:
The viewfinder has slight remaining haze after cleaning (rangefinder patch is clear), and a battery is required for the electronic shutter. The lens is clear and the camera powers on correctly. Please review the photos before bidding.

Condition: USED — Good
Pre-owned. Powers on correctly, the lens is clear, and the (cleaned) viewfinder has only slight remaining haze with a clear rangefinder double-image. A battery is required for the electronic shutter.
