Description from the seller
YASHICA Electro 35 GT, tested and working.
Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.
The Yashica Electro 35 GT is the black-finished version of Yashicas Electro 35 G-series, a 35mm aperture-priority rangefinder introduced in 1969. It carries a fixed Yashinon-DX 45mm f/1.7 lens and uses a CdS meter driving an electronically controlled stepless shutter: the photographer sets the aperture and the camera selects the shutter speed automatically (from roughly 30 seconds to 1/500). The T denotes the black-paint body, distinguishing it from the chrome S models such as the GS. It originally used a 5.6V mercury battery (PX32), which today requires a modern replacement or adapter. Its fast lens and quiet electronic shutter make it a well-loved classic among film shooters.

Measured Performance
We check these cameras on a shutter tester rather than by ear, and we publish what we measured:

Negative film has enough latitude to absorb deviations of this size, but the figures are here so you can judge for yourself.

- Viewfinder cleaned internally
- Lens cleaned internally
