Yashica Electro-35 CC Check Out

[PFMcFarland]

I finally secured for myself one of these fine little rangefinder cameras. Sporting a 35mm 1:1.8 Color-Yashinon DX lens in a compact body with a Copal electronically controlled shutter, it’s just a little smaller than the Electro-35 GX, and a little bigger than my Nikon P7700. Aperture priority always, with Over and Under warning lights in the viewfinder. Due to its size, they are not duplicated on the top like with the larger models.

I shot a roll of Kodak Gold 200 that was just slightly out of date. Exposures were good, with just minor adjustments for highlights, and sky detail. The camera functions fine, and its only fault is someone almost wrecked the battery cover, but it still works.

Evening light photos to bring out the contrast.

You did well with the checking. The clouds made a very good subject!

The lens seems very good, as is often the case with these RF era.

I like the Dodge and Plymouth series, supposedly excellent compacts. They did not have the luck of your Yashica, though.
