Although these early Nicca cameras were not very successful, they remain valuable collector’s items today. The company continued to build clones of Leica cameras. In 1948, Kōgaku Seiki Company changed its name to Nippon Camera Works, and a year later changed it again to Nicca Camera Works. A Nicca IIIa from around 1952 was a direct copy of the Leica IIIa and was one of Nippon’s first cameras. In 1942, they released their first model, the Nippon, which was a Japanese clone of the popular German Leica camera. In 1940, several ex employees of Canon formed the Kōgaku Seiki Company. The Yashica camera company originally started as two separate Japanese companies both who made cameras along with other products.

Repair manual yashica electro 35 gx series#
The Yashica Electro series was launched in 1966 and was the worlds first completely electronically controlled camera.
This however limits its shutter speed control for those special effect shots.īut like almost all reviews about it, this gives out the best sunset shots I’ve seen among rangefinder cameras.This is a Yashica Electro 35 GS electronically controlled rangefinder 35mm camera. This makes it really good in almost all light conditions, especially with fast film speeds of 400-1600. It is aperture priority, meaning automatic shutter speeds, making every shot the right exposure based on the aperture you choose. It has an f1.7 40 mm copal leaf shutter lens giving a fast and quite wide angle view for a lens. But this certain rarity makes shooting (and finding it) a gem of an experience.īased on reviews on the web, this little rangefinder is one of the best low lights cameras in the Yashica Electro series. Even here in, the GX is not very popular. The GX has very limited press, that trying to google any reviews would give just two or three articles in the interwebs. The price I got it for is so low, I might be murdered on the street by analogue camera enthusiasts and the condition it came in might cause a riot in the same crowd as well. The treasure hunt so far gave me this mint condition Yashica Electro 35 GX from the depths of the old camera piles. But when I do, there is this thrift shop that makes the 12-hour trip worth it.
I rarely go to the City of Tabuk in Kalinga Province. It’s those rare finds, in the rarest of times that really make the best experiences.
