ok, guys and girls....today im going to talk a little about another of my favourite classic film cameras, the yashica electro 35.

when first introduced in the 1960s, the yashica electro family of cameras attracted an instant following, justifiably so, too!

it was called the Leica for the lit­tle man, and why? well, read on...

firstly, the designers at yashica were not interested n making a camera with built-in obsolescence, as much of manufacturing does these days. ok, they probably had a fixed budget from whihc to work, but they made damn sure that everything in the camera was of commendably high quality, and built to last.

fine, the camera could not be called portable or pocketable, but the qualities it had, made it all the more worthwhile than virtually any other 35mm film camera at that time.

so what did it have that people so raved about then, as well as now?

well, the lens for a start! just look at that massive piece of high quality glass; 45mm and f1.7, which joins the league of the best lenses ever fitted to a camera.

in fact, someone has said that the yashica lens is virtually equivalent to the lens on voigtlander, nikon or even leica cameras!

coupled with it's auto exposure system, this camera was designed for afficianados who hankered for results, not flashy widgets!

i myself know of several professionals who still use this camera as a back-up to their own digital cameras, as with these classic film cameras, there's virtually nothing to go wrong -- ok, if the battery runs out, the camera will still happily click away taking excellent photos!

ive got several of these cameras myself, which i rotate so that each one gets used regularly, and thats one of the cameras i am offering for sale to you.

it comes in it's original carry case, which also has the rare tele and wide angle lens kit inside, together with a mini-tripod, cable release and set of 3 filters, incuding a polariser for those extra special effects with colour or mono film.

price? just £163.95 plus £7.99 postage (UK)
USA, Canada & Europe £28
