Yashica Electro 35 CC 35mm Rangefinder Film Camera

About this product

Product Information

The Yashica Electro 35 CC 35mm Rangefinder film camera is a classic, user-friendly camera that is a good choice for multiple photography needs. It offers many features you would normally find on higher-end models, including a 28mm outside viewfinder. This feature makes it easy for you to frame your pictures the way you want them. The lens construction made up of six elements in four groups gives you great creative freedom. After selecting your aperture, the camera will choose the right shutter speed automatically, which can help amateur photographers learn. With the rangefinder, you can easily measure the distance between you and your subject so your photos can always be sharp and clear.The country of origin for this item is Japan. Globetrotting while capturing photo opportunities is why the Yashica Electro has aperture priority automation. This is travel technology, and it is all about the lens. This camera calls for the lens to be a little smaller than some other cameras and devices measuring at 35mm (f/1.8). Working well within the model design, the shutter is a leaf-type, electronically controlled inter-lens. The speed of the shutter is 8 seconds to 1/250 seconds. The Yashica Electro is a real game changer in that such a small tool has great control normally found on bigger models. The exposure meter is a CdS cell located right above the front lens element. A lot of thought was put into the design and placement of the controls and functions on this Yashica to make it user friendly and convenient. The exposure value range is from EV-1 to EV-16. The film speed range is ISO 25–500. The flash synchronization is built-in X synchronization via a PC socket, which is a photo flash connection. The focusing system is a superimposed rectangle rangefinder type. That is like having double the focusing power. The viewfinder information includes overexposure and slow (less than 1/30s) shutter speed warning arrows. The Yashica Electro is built to help you capture the best image possible with the least amount of trouble. The film advance is a manual, lever-operated, single-stroke action. This is all the power that you need on a 35mm camera that is as compact as this one. The self-timer on this camera is mechanical and has a 10-second delay. This allows you to pose with your family or friends in front of landscapes, monuments, or scenes of nature without feeling rushed. The filter mount screws on and measures 52mm, making it easy to add while you’re out and about taking photos. The Yashica Electro uses a single 6V PX28 battery. The battery check lights up the frame counter so you don’t have to worry about low battery power while enjoying snapping your photographs. The dimensions of this Yashica Electro dimensions are 4.72 inches x 2.91 inches x 1.3 inches. It weighs just a bit over two pounds, so it is small enough to carry anywhere and can be stored quickly and easily. This versatile and useful 35mm camera from Japan features an all-black finish.

One of the few fixed lens rangefinders with a fast 35 mm lens
This is probably 25% smaller than the full size Electros. The winding, focusing and aperture action are not quite as smooth, but 90%. The thing about the full size Electros is that they all have 45 mm lens, which is not wide enough for my taste, most of the time.These don't have hot shoes, so if you plan to use it with flash, make sure you get one with a cord to plug to the X-sync jack. These were made from 1970 to 1973, and they rely on a piece of foam known as the "Pad of Death" in the shutter release mechanism. When that foam gets old and falls off, you've got no control over exposure; it fires at 1/500s no matter what. My point is to be ready to spend another $150 getting this little beauty serviced before you have a good camera. Mine was 99%, cosmetically-speaking, but still needed a CLA (clean, lube, adjust) to be right. Attached are a few photos of the (black) Electro 35 CC compared to one of the larger Electro 35 G series cameras, then a few shots from the 35 CC with Fomapan 100 film.

Small, great lens, big f-stop
Fits inside your coat pocket, silent shutter and has a really good 35 mm lens with a big f-stop. Fully automatic exposure so all you need to "worry about" is setting the f-stop. Also very beautiful to look at.
