◇Description◇
Yashica Electro 35G (released in 1968) - G stands for "Gold Mechanica." Gold plating was used on the electrical contacts of the circuit board instead of rhodium plating to improve durability, and the shape of the winding lever was also changed. Lens: YASHINON-DX 45mm/F1.7 Shutter speeds: B, approx. 30 seconds - 1/500 second, 1/30 second when using a strobe. Weight: approx. 730g. Battery: HM-4N mercury battery x 1.
※ I believe this is a later model because the top take-up part is pulled up when changing the film.

⚫︎Appearance
Apart from a deformation (impact mark) on the tip frame of the lens, there are no noticeable scratches, and I think it is in a beautiful condition for its age.
There is some cloudiness in the viewfinder.

⚫︎Operation check
The operation of the lens part, such as shutter speed, aperture, and focus, is smooth.
Film speed dial, film winding/rewinding, and shutter operate smoothly.
The function of the aperture-priority EE electronic shutter has not been confirmed because there are no batteries.

・Other
The condition of the moltoprene (light-shielding) has not been confirmed because no actual shooting has been done.
This is an old model, and it is being sold as junk, so there is no guarantee of operation or function. Please understand this before purchasing.
