Collectors Classic ~ Working Yashica Electro GT

 Black Yashica Electro GT

This black body Electro GT is in near mint condition and functions perfectly. A very high quality camera. For example, all the electrical contacts are gold plated. The lens is the 45mm F1,7 Color Yashinon. These lenses were made for Yashica by Tomioka, a subsidiary of Yashica and probably one of the best lens makers of all time. Some professionals still carry an Electro in their bag for low light shots due to the extremely accurate and sensitive exposure system.

The GT variant (black body) is rare and working examples in near mint condition exceedingly scarce. These cameras are selling for over R400.00 in the USA.  This is one camera you will never loose money on.

Don't worry about getting batteries, the best combination to replace the original mercury batteries will be supplied with the camera. These batteries are readily available in South Africa.

These marvels of optics and engineering will never be made again.
