The Electro 35 GT was a 35mm rangefinder camera from Yashica released in 1969. Its silver chrome body counterpart was the Electro 35 G and later the Electro 35 GS. It was part of the Yashica Electro 35 series, and replaces the rare Electro 35 Professional from the first generation of the series. Early models have ASA at 12-500 while late models have them at 25 to 1,000 ASA (like the „GS“). Some of the lenses have the Color-Yashinon marking while others do not. The lens itself did not change, though.

For more specifications and details see the series page.
