It has taken a long time to find a working, sensibly priced version of the Electro 35 CCN camera but at last one is here....
Electro 35 CCN Wide
This has always been a favourite with its wider-angle lens of 35mm, instead of 45mm, at a f1.8 maximum aperture which is little different from the f1.7 aperture on the 45mm. The change of lens type is reflected in the italicised 'WIDE' logo on the front. However, despite being manufactured over a 5 year period, they are not as common as some of the other Electro 35 models.
The lens has a great reputation. The only issue, as with many cameras from this era, is finding a replacement battery - the CCN Wide uses a 5.6v for its metering. I have read about people using 4 1.5v cells to good effect, better than trying a single 6v 4LR44 battery.
