Yashica Electro GS

The Yashica Electro GS — an aperture-priority 35mm rangefinder with the brilliantly fast Yashinon-DX 45mm f/1.7 lens. Famous for low-light performance and silky smooth operation. Honest disclosure on a small over-exposure indicator quirk inside.

The over-exposure indicator quirk is a minor inconvenience — the meter and shutter still work, you just can't rely on the warning lamp to tell you when you're at the edge of the exposure range. Honest disclosure for an otherwise EXC+ unit.
