I guess with legacy to Sony. Minolta had good focusing system. Sony has the best now.

How much this cost new?

I need help I opened up my Yashica electro 35 to replace the pod and clean the rangefinder and now the advance wheel won’t reset when I open the film door and advice would be great?

You had some rain storms while you shot this.

Thank you so much for making this video. It’s pleasing to watch, how this camera is still related today’s world. By the way I just start experimenting mine with Fuji GFX, so far going good. Is anyone done any work so far ? Last year tried some 120 films on it and work great with film back. Only issue I’m having with the lens, it seems need to be service.

Thanks for your nice review, I have a question can you see the whole image in the viewfinder when wearing glasses like I do?

I love yashicas, I feel like they are too underrated. I hope you talk sometime about the fx3 or the lynx 5000, very cool cameras.

I still have a Nikon F2 and a Nikkomat (lenses are all interchangeable on a bayonet fitting) with standard lenses, a big heavy telephoto lense and and fish eye lense. I also have an ancient Practicka, with a large selection of lenses, that I take on the beach etc. where I won't take my Nikons.

Why do fixed lens rangefinders always have the shutter on the lens? Besides being cumbersome, it is extremely prone to breaking. I have owned several rangefinders like this from different brands and they have all broken. An SLR is much more reliable in my experience.

Bought one in 1975, great Nikon product,camera was indestructible with controls that felt natural to the hands.

Today -corrected for inflation_ that would be like 20 grands lens 😳...ahhhh , the 80s lol

Hello, I have one of these cameras and watching your video I opened mine and had access to the film winding system, however, in my case the small horizontal bar does not remain in the "unlocked" position. When I use the screwdriver and move it, it moves smoothly, but if I release it, it returns to the "locked" position. Do you know of any other procedure to keep the small bar horizontal so that it does not block the film winder?

No,not a good camera ! Totally overrated !! Did use it professionally for a short time. Trash it ,the sooner the better ! Get an old Nikon instead and use all great Zeiss lenses on it.

I bought my OM 1 in 1979. It still works, but the battry for the lightmeter is no longer made. I did attempt a conversion using a diode, but made a complete hash of it. So I just use a hand meter.

I don't know how rare they are or how easy they would be to come by but I would love to see a Panon Widelux review on this channel if you ever get your hands on one!

I miss mine so much!

I love this channel and youre a great and knowledgeable guy, but please stop saying layca.

you missed the first gen, Yashica electro 35 original

I thought this was 12 fps

On mine everything works 100% as long as you let the advance lever go so it can spring back to it's original position. If you do it gently the camera will jam! I will give it a clean and oil under the bottom plate, should help things return a bit smoother. Thankyou for the video!

My favorite half-frame camera of all time. I think I'm the only other person to make a video about it on UA-cam.

Could you explain how to adjust the rangefinder on these, in particular the Pearl III? I have one in nice condition, I was able to adjust the vertical positioning, but I can’t figure out horizontal

sOOmar as well ' stress the first syllable

for God's sake , it's lAYEca '; being so knowledgeable of all sorts of camera and all in all photo thingies it diminishes you not being able to pronounce correctly ; it\s tzAYEss eekon an so on

The camera I started professional wedding photography with 46 years ago. I recently managed to acquire another complete with the 35mm kit . Pure nostalgia. Thanks for the review..

Your videos are excellent!❤

Excellent tutorial! Thank you! ❤

Interesting. I have a Yashica C and a couple of rolls of film but I haven't tried it yet. I looked at your website and your prices are very good, especially with a serviced camera with that manual and case. I will subscribe.

Yashicha d was my first 120 tlr 🎉

I have a question has there been a twin lens reflex 35 mm?

Sharp looking camera!

Thanks for sharing your story. It’s my dream to move there but not having a degree sounds like it’ll be a roadblock

I recently bought a vintage OM40 as I want to get into film photography. Really an amateur here. I cannot see anything through the viewfinder. What can be the reason? Does anything need to be adjusted?

My timer stuck, what should i do? It wont go foward on the film, and wont shutter

Nice video! My iA (like yours) was my favourite but I just got a 1934 model F and I think for usability this might now be my favourite! Love these cameras!

Most boring video ever , bla bla bla 95% you are talking about not related to the subject !

Film is not loaded correctly.

Unfortunately, these are no longer really cheapies. Especially the Canon. Nice comparison though. I'd love to see you compare some 90s Nikons. They are often neglected and often cheaper.

A big issue with these and comparable cameras is that they are not regarded as pro and people tend to obsess over this which is largely a mixture of fomo and flexing. In one way though, it's good because it keeps the price down.

Hello. I would like to ask for your advice. Right now I'm interested in the Canon VI and P. I can't decide since they're both beautiful. Which one should I choose? And is there a 50 mm 1.4 chrome lens and is it expensive? Or is there any substitute?

I have emailed you my order details for Konica 2A !!! Andrew

It's nice to see these two compared. I still have my MX I bought in 1977. I'd challenge the assertion that these were designed, considered or even called 'Pro' at the time. I certainly don't remember these ever marketed as such. I was a young photographer in the 1970's and in 35mm the Nikon F/F2 and Canon F1 were considered a 'pro' model. The OM1 was a first SLR design from Olympus targeting anyone while the MX was considered as a simpler ME/Spotmatic but not a 'Pro' models.

I became aware of the lens shortcomings on the Canon several decades ago which is why the 17 is not in my collection. In the meantime I have five of the Electro 35 but not the GX. Electro 35 is not bad. My favorite for using a rangefinder, I am more an SLR guy, is the Minolta HiMatic E. I used one to shoot four years of B&W photos for my grad school yearbook and it never let me down. Great size for surreptitious photography.

helpful video! thanks for sharing!

Do the Zuiko lenses on the later automat versions of the Mamiya 6 suffer the same issues as the earlier models?

Where is my camera I ordered

I wish people were honest with advice about strengths and weaknesses and suitability. My father - proud owner of a Rolleiflex TLR - bought me as my first 'serious' camera a Russian Lubitel TLR. He didnt hold with fiddly new-fangled Japanese 35mm. He meant well but could only 'see' photography from his own narrow perspective. TLRs are good for certain subjects and styles. But TLRs inherent parallax error, left/right viewfinder flip, lack of D.o.F visibility etc kill off close-up, telephoto, moving action and eye level shooting. And only 12 exposures per film is expensive and cumbersome to reload. And you can't shoot slides (well only with an adapter and considerable waste of film). Its tough being 14 using a TLR when your friend has an Olympus Trip. Could have put me off photography for life. But I eventually bought a Zenit SLR (with my own money) and the world changed. Did he learn anything from this? not much. He gave my younger sister a Zorki 4K. Nice camera for a certain kind of enthusiast. But for a 12 year old's first camera? heavy, awkward to load, no point in interchangeable lens if you only have one. And don't even get me started on exposure meters! He had a Weston, but we had to use a little calculator card with tables for time of day, weather condition, light or shade, film speed, and read-off an EV value.

Thank you for your video! Can this camera make double exposure by rewind bottom?

Hello. I would like some advice. I can't decide between VL and P which one should I choose. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each one? And the 50mm chrome lens, which one should I choose, 1.2 or 1.4?
