super simple and easy to use, it only shoots in aperture priority but I see that as one less thing to worry about. focusing with the rangefinder is extremely easy, the camera is super lightweight. batteries are hard to find but it works with 4 LR44 batteries

Superb. Just going back to basics and to the menuless photography. Load a good film, expose it correctly and the lime get transferred to a two dimension sheet with more vibrance and organic feeling. Love imaging, film is the Zen of Photography

Compared to other vintage rangefinders, the Electro 35 GX is priced competitively. It easily is as good or better than the Canon QL-17 or the Minolta HiMatic S2, both of which have crept up in price recently. The Yashica lens is very sharp and produces images with pleasant contrast and saturation. If you're into collectible cameras, or enjoy shooting film, I highly recommend the Yashica GX.
very good
