Other than the elusive Electro Half models, this completes my wish list for the series: the Electro 35 GX.
Yashica Electro 35 GX
Although missing its lens cap, case and strap, it's great to finally have one and in the harder to find black finish too.
Dating from 1975, this was the last of the fast-lens Electro 35 models. It uses two 1.4v cells for its metering system which was upgraded from the previous model (CdS) to a Silicon Photo Diode making it much more responsive; thankfully it arrived with batteries installed. The lens is the superb COLOR YASHINON-DX 40mm f1.7 comprising 6 elements in 4 groups.
Auto-flash is possible if using the dedicated Yashica ES-20 unit but I favour the Pro-50DX instead. This is a truly beautiful camera to use.
