<\/p>\nThis is a Yashica Electro GTN rangefinder camera, renowned for having a fast and very sharp lens. I’d been looking for one of these for a few months, they go for various prices on Feepay depending on condition and which model your after. I got this one for a very good price especially as it came with a light seal repair kit.<\/p>\n

The rangefinder viewfinder was a little grubby so I gave it a clean, the top is held on by three tiny screws and a with little patience I dismantled the various top parts, allowing me access to the viewfinder etc.<\/p>\n

It could do with further cleaning to the rangefinder prism but I couldn’t remember if it needed specialist cleaning or not, I’ll look into it, if you’ll pardon the pun.<\/p>\n
The battery still has some life left in it surprisingly as they are pretty hard to get hold of nowadays, although you can patch together a number of alternatives as long as its about 6v’s.
\nOne thing that did surprise me, and shows when the last time I shot a roll of 35mm was, is the cost of a roll of Ilford FP4…. \u00a37.50 a roll… cough cough splutter!<\/p>\n
So if anyone has any spare old rolls they no longer need, of any 35mm film, please feel free to send it my way, it would be much appreciated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
