Yashica built the whole thing around a single idea: you set the aperture, the electronics work out the shutter speed, and a pair of arrows in the finder tell you if something is off. No match needle, no maths. Paired with the fast \u003cstrong\u003eYashinon-DX 45mm f\/1.7\u003c\/strong\u003e and a near-silent leaf shutter, it made a serious rangefinder accessible to people who had never used one — which is largely why over eight million Electro 35s left the factory. The GSN was the 1973 final revision, with a hot shoe and updated electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Fixed-lens coupled rangefinder, 35mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens: Yashinon-DX 45mm f\/1.7, 6 elements in 4 groups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShutter: Copal electronically-timed leaf shutter, roughly 30sec to 1\/500sec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExposure: Aperture priority automatic only — the camera picks the shutter speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetering: CdS cell, with over\/under warning lamps in the finder and on the top plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: Originally a 5.6V PX32 mercury cell, long discontinued — modern replacements need an adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter thread: 55mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: Approximately 750g — dense, all-metal, satisfying\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnown weakness: The rubber \"pad of death\" behind the wind mechanism perishes with age and disables the shutter on most surviving examples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCosmetic: Excellent.
