Yashica Electro 35 G 35mm Rangefinder - Good Condition | Classic Japanese Rangefinder with Fast Yashinon-DX 45mm f/1.7 Lens

The Yashica Electro 35 G is one of the most iconic and beloved 35mm rangefinder cameras ever produced — a beautifully engineered Japanese classic that combines an electronically controlled aperture priority automatic exposure system with the legendary Yashinon-DX 45mm f/1.7 lens in an elegant and well-built package. Introduced in the late 1960s, the Electro 35 series was a landmark in camera design — the electronic shutter control allowed for stepless shutter speeds that delivered consistently accurate exposures in virtually any lighting condition. The Yashinon-DX 45mm f/1.7 is a genuinely exceptional fixed lens — sharp, fast, and beautifully rendering with a natural, organic quality that makes it equally at home shooting street photography, portraits, and low-light scenes. A timeless and highly sought-after classic that deserves to be shot. Serial number SR 90513297.
