Yashica Rangefinder


Guys and gals,

This right here is a classic rangefinder from decades ago. It's not in the Leica league, rather it's part of a range of affordable alternatives. Having said that, it's a great camera in its own right.

Sadly, this camera is kind of broken. It's an aperture priority camera, with a battery dependent shutter. The battery circuit appears to no longer be working, so it has defaulted to 1/1000 th of a second, which is the default shutter speed when there is no power in the circuit.

I am going to sell it for parts, for sure, but before I do, I will take it on a round (probably) tomorrow in the sun to see how I feel about shooting at that single shutter speed.
