Introduction
In 1966 Yashica introduced the Electro 35. It was the first of a very succesfull line of cameras. All of them are 35mm rangefinder cameras with fixed Yashinon lenses. The rangefinder is coupled to the focusing ring and the viewfinder is parallax corrected. Very nice for a 1960's rangefinder camera. The Electros use aperture priority exposure with a stepless (!) automatic shutter with speeds from 30s to 1/500s.
Specifications
Copal electronic blade shutter with flash sync at all speeds. Yashinon 1.7 45mm lens. On later models, the lens is called color Yashinon.
