Looks like a nice camera, would be nice to see another review with it. Still I guess it is mainly the photographer who makes the picture :-) I like the one with the reflections best. Thanks for sharing
I got the prints and in print the are so much nicer than on TH-cam. Also the xpan zine really impressed me. The Berlin shoots in the zine add pretty nicely to your recent videos. Thanks again, two of the prints are already framed and on the wall
i guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Tyson Neil I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Thank you for the fun review. If the battery dies. Set the shutter to the lightning bolt. Now it’s a fixed 1/30 of a second. Use sunny 16 and keep shooting. I have been shooting with the first generation electro 35 for five years. Never had battery problems. It is a joy to shoot. Chris
The Electro 35 was my first Rangefinder and my first vintage camera repair when I got back into photography in 2009 or so and I still love it, even after owning many many many other cameras. I know this video is 2 years old, but I'd love to see you shoot this more, especially some BW. I find it really likes XP2 with an orange filter, and I've added a nice silver square lens hood and take it alongside my M240 with 35mm. And I love hearing that Ka-thunk of the pad...very unique.
Because of you, I bought one and restored it. Bought it for a little over $20 with electrical problems and didn't have many hoped of using it beyond the 'box speed' but, after finally getting time, and not being willing to throw in the towel, I got it working again :D
My favorite rangefinder to use outside of Leica. It does really nice work with Tri-X and that lens. 1.7 is a bit soft for me but I’ll shoot 2.8 and still get some nice street portraits or whatever.
The colours you're getting from the Fuji film are just wonderful. Such a lovely organic feel to the photos. I'll have to try a roll in my Canon A-1 next time I'm out shooting street.
I really like the colors of Fuji Industrial 100. Fun fact: this camera was used in the film The Amazing Spiderman by Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield). After the movie came out, the camera and even the same strap were highly sought after but luckily prizes never got as high as the Yashica T4 prizes.
Your images are great to see. I have that camera but haven’t actually used it yet so I’m pleasantly pleased to see it’s capable of delivering some really great results. Take care.
It's been a pleasure as always 😉. I like the images a lot and I think the Yashica does a great job. My favorite picture ist the minimalistic shot with the lady. Thanks and I look forward to another video.
Just a few days ago I shot Fuji Industrial 100 for the first time, too, and I am really pleased by the colors and the tonality of this film. Fun fact - I bought the film a few months ago in Berlin when I stayed there for a few days. I strolled around the government quarter like you and took a lot of shots there. So, your video is kind of a nice reminder of my summer trip. And as always, very nice shots, Robin👍😉👋!
Both the double exposure images turned out great, but the second is magical. The first shot with the reflections is also excellent. Another fine outing! 📷
I’ve had a couple of these cameras. They helped cement my love for rangefinders. The first worked great and I loved it so much, but then it died unexpectedly. I tried to get it fixed, but it wasn’t repairable.. the second worked ok, but never really felt the same, so I saved a little while and got a Leica to replace it. I really miss the Yashica’s lens though. Also..there sure seems to be a lot of people out shooting where you are in this video.
11:30 - Quite an interesting shot, seeing as the shadow of the pillar looks to be going to the left, but the shadow of the couple goes to the right. Some lucky optical shadow trickery there :)
Beautiful work ! Love the images. Just got some Industrial 100 to try, cannot wait. Also that camera is so affordable, great place for folks to start their film journey !
Sometimes I use two zip ties to make a DIY focusing tab. I also fiddle with the iso dial a lot for exposure compensation when I'm using mine. :) It was my first rangefinder and would probably be my "one" camera if I had to choose one.
Just picked this camera up the other day. this was the first video I looked at to get some reference photos taken with the camera and it looks amazing! I love that mini double exposure effect you got
I guess it takes confidence to fire that shutter, which helps us build up speed shooting street photography. I really enjoyed this video and more so your images 👍🏻
The last photo is truly a great moment. When I saw the video of you about to snap the shot, and the couple started kissing I went "wow it got even better!"
Thank you for this video. I have this camera and it's been a blast shooting with it. I've been looking for a video where someone was actually using it.
Great clear pictures well focused, color and light balance. This type of Yashica Electro 35 had great reputation and was compared with great cameras in its time. Also it's a great film camera for street photography because it is quite. Every time I'm looking at picture results, I'm impressed. Of course, with a real photographer, it's a bonus. 👍
I was thinking of selling my yashica electro 35 which by the way I bought it new in the box. But with this video you have convinced me not to. Thanks for your videos. Gracias
The lens is wonderful. I've had 2 and still have one, but I have found I prefer the Minolta HiMatic (7 or 9) because you can shoot automatically or manually.
to prevent double exposure, you can tape a small flat piece of plastic (or even a thick enough cardboard) to protect that film-release button. Use Painter's tape, or gaffer tape to hold protection in place. I've got a working copy of this camera. As a rule for all cameras, I use lens hoods, so I have one on this camera. My intention is for BW photos that I develop and print or scan. Haven't actually put film through this camera yet, but I'm very pleased with the viewfinder, and the focusing image that the viewfinder provides. (The reason for not shooting with this camera yet is that I am still calibrating my film processing flow so as to maximize end results. I'm using manual nikon for this testing.) Once I settle on a development method for differing contrast conditions, I'll apply the best ISO to support making good negatives. Then each roll of film will be committed to a particular development method. I can carry multiple cameras, if needed, each loaded with film having its own ISO, so as to support varying contrast conditions on any particular shooting session.
I had a Yashica MG-1 - the pictures it took were fine but I always thought it felt a bit tinny and light. So I sold it. Really nice images in the video.
This video reminded me that I bought one of these cameras once and it arrived broken and then I left it at a friend's house by accident and now it's probably gone forever. It also reminded me that I really miss Berlin.
Oh yeah ! It was a lucky day, compositions and light are great. You choose the perfect film for this place, you have find the good situations, and chance was clearly with you on this day, cause the no intentional double exposure are absolutely fabulous. Great time for me watching your videos.
Great stuff, Robin! For a print, I like the minimal one the most (9:25), as a photograph though, I think the double exposure is the best. Would be fun to see you shooting with a Bessa R2/3/4 in a future video ✌️
Ich besitze sie Yashica auch. Sie sieht super chic aus, die Bilder sind auch wirklich gut. Und ich mag die Farben des Industrial sehr. Ich habe noch 10 Rollen davon 😀 von 100er, nicht vom 400er.
Love the video, love Yashica Electro 35 GSN, I'm proud owner of one exsample 🙂 Lens is beautiful and exposure system is great. I would like to see more videos featuring this camera. Thank you 👍
Nice video, great camera, thanks for uploading. May I add that I find the 45mm lens doesn’t suit you bad at all, brings out new composition ideas to your artistic spectrum... definetly should try a 50mm on your Leica.
6:59 Present and future... Excellent shot. I was interested to know how you handle the 45mm. I have a Minolta Hi-Matic 7s with the same focal length. If you can get it, it's a great camera. Cheers!!
Looks like a nice camera, would be nice to see another review with it. Still I guess it is mainly the photographer who makes the picture :-) I like the one with the reflections best. Thanks for sharing
Congratulations, you are the winner of the prints. Can you shoot me a message over on Instagram or through my website? :)
I got the prints and in print the are so much nicer than on TH-cam. Also the xpan zine really impressed me. The Berlin shoots in the zine add pretty nicely to your recent videos. Thanks again, two of the prints are already framed and on the wall
i guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account?
I somehow forgot the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me

Wait how does that work? I just got my hands on this as a gift from someone, can you please explain it to me

5.6 seems like a great sweet spot for street photography. nice mix of bokeh and zone focusing
Great video! Also, Spiderman's camera, and you created a brand new sentence. "The guy was barefoot, but at least he had a smart phone."
Legit here because I bought this camera for cosplay to wear to No Way Home :)
@@isaacgeisenburg9183 Dedication. 👏
The photo of the dog has something amazing! Both the dog and the double exposed girl are looking at the viewer.
Great photos, as always. My favourite is the first one: geometric, yet an aquatic, dynamic feeling to it.
It’s like, everywhere he walks, people just start posing artistically like it’s staged yet so candid. I love it!
My favorite rangefinder to use outside of Leica. It does really nice work with Tri-X and that lens. 1.7 is a bit soft for me but I’ll shoot 2.8 and still get some nice street portraits or whatever.
I picked up an Electro 35 a few months ago. I’ve only put one roll through it but I love it. And that lady laying down photo 👌
The colours you're getting from the Fuji film are just wonderful. Such a lovely organic feel to the photos. I'll have to try a roll in my Canon A-1 next time I'm out shooting street.

This is such a cool looking camera tbh, I love the little atom logo. The photos are amazing as usual!
Your images are great to see. I have that camera but haven’t actually used it yet so I’m pleasantly pleased to see it’s capable of delivering some really great results. Take care.
Thank you!

Another nice roll! Good work, Robin
Thanks Hashem! :)
Great photos as always and keeps getting better. No matter what camera you are using the output is always on point. Thanks for sharing.
10:37 best picture in this ep sir. Amazing moment !
I’ve had a couple of these cameras. They helped cement my love for rangefinders. The first worked great and I loved it so much, but then it died unexpectedly.

Looking at your latest videos I realise I miss Berlin
Love the way you film your city walks and add the pics as clicks. Really like the collars of this film 👍🏼
I love that you featured the Yashica. I bought I’ve recently and I love shooting with it.
Love that camera, had one for couple years. Such a joy to use
I have an electro and havent used it in about 3 years.... im mtivated to take the camera out now. Thanks for creating this and sharing.
That’s pretty clear that the double exposures are related to the re-wind knob on the bottom of the cam. The film turned very well
Really love the colour of this film 💚
11:30 - Quite an interesting shot, seeing as the shadow of the pillar looks to be going to the left, but the shadow of the couple goes to the right. Some lucky optical shadow trickery there :)
It’s a great camera. The lens on this thing is really good, as is the viewfinder and rangefinder patch.
Beautiful work ! Love the images. Just got some Industrial 100 to try, cannot wait. Also that camera is so affordable, great place for folks to start their film journey !
Sometimes I use two zip ties to make a DIY focusing tab. I also fiddle with the iso dial a lot for exposure compensation when I'm using mine. :) It was my first rangefinder and would probably be my "one" camera if I had to choose one.
nice idea....
Really nice camera! I buy GSN week ago and you video was very helpful for me, because I never shoot on film cameras before.
I’m in love with your use of empty space in shots
Street photographers are always amazing, huge respect! :D
I have a black Yashica MG-1 who looks the same but with a 2.8 lens. Fuji Industrial colors looks very nice 👌
Nice prints. My favourite is also the last double exposure.
Great pictures! It shows that it’s not (only) camera which makes the pictures. Love the one with the reflection
I think these are some of my favourites images I have seen you take in a video
Just picked this camera up the other day. this was the first video I looked at to get some reference photos taken with the camera and it looks amazing! I love that mini double exposure effect you got
Enjoy shooting your new camera!
Thanks Robin, purchased checked one because on you at 100 eur including shipping..
love that cam
Nice Collab with Carmencita...both of you are great
I guess it takes confidence to fire that shutter, which helps us build up speed shooting street photography. I really enjoyed this video and more so your images 👍🏻
surprised at how sharp all the photos looked, nice camera and film. Also the shots from this episode are very satisfying from a composition POV, nice!
Cool camera. Excellent photos as usual Robin, no matter the tool.
Great episode, thank you for sharing :) Now i need to hunt down even more filmstock.
The last photo is truly a great moment. When I saw the video of you about to snap the shot, and the couple started kissing I went "wow it got even better!"
Sir Robin half man half amazing with any tool the second image just amazing keep it up mate
I love mine. Great for color film. I often take a photo of the Camera. A very pretty camera.
Those images at wide open ( especially the one at 2:04 ) are actually pretty good! Great video as always 👍🏽🔥
Thank you for this video. I have this camera and it's been a blast shooting with it. I've been looking for a video where someone was actually using it.
Yes, more videos about this camera please!
Love these images from this film and they look great as prints! I think the double exposures really worked out!
Great clear pictures well focused, color and light balance. This type of Yashica Electro 35 had great reputation and was compared with great cameras in its time. Also it's a great film camera for street photography because it is quite.
Every time I'm looking at picture results, I'm impressed. Of course, with a real photographer, it's a bonus. 👍
Berlin, and all the photos... very easy on the eyes. Nicely done.
I was thinking of selling my yashica electro 35 which by the way I bought it new in the box. But with this video you have convinced me not to. Thanks for your videos. Gracias
Awesome shots Robin! I'd gladly hang these on my wall!
Please do more videos with it!! I like it when you make videos with more achievable cameras like this, unlike the Leica and the Hasselblad.
I was thinking of getting in camera, this video made me go for it!
Great images as usual, great rendering from the lens and Fuji Industrial 100 film.
The lens is wonderful. I've had 2 and still have one, but I have found I prefer the Minolta HiMatic (7 or 9) because you can shoot automatically or manually.
The light was gorgeous this day!!
to prevent double exposure, you can tape a small flat piece of plastic (or even a thick enough cardboard) to protect that film-release button. Use Painter's tape, or gaffer tape to hold protection in place.

Good advice, thank you!
Hey nice pics as always. Try out the Olympus 35 SP its full manual and the better choice I think.
I own a YASHICA MG 1, very similar to the GSN, but I find it hard to reach the fucusing ring too
I had a Yashica MG-1 - the pictures it took were fine but I always thought it felt a bit tinny and light. So I sold it. Really nice images in the video.
This video reminded me that I bought one of these cameras once and it arrived broken and then I left it at a friend's house by accident and now it's probably gone forever. It also reminded me that I really miss Berlin.
Echt cool alles was du machst! Danke!! Die Bilder sind Hammer!!
Oh yeah ! It was a lucky day, compositions and light are great. You choose the perfect film for this place, you have find the good situations, and chance was clearly with you on this day, cause the no intentional double exposure are absolutely fabulous. Great time for me watching your videos.
Very nice camera, was going to get the Yashica too, but then bought a Contax G. Beautiful pictures, great.
The first print is my favorite. It's very interesting!
Great stuff, Robin! For a print, I like the minimal one the most (9:25), as a photograph though, I think the double exposure is the best.
Would be fun to see you shooting with a Bessa R2/3/4 in a future video ✌️
I'm enjoying your videos and I've started to dig out my old film cameras for something different to do. Keep up the good work!
The graphic simplicity of the woman lying on the ground is my favourite. The dog double exposure my second...
Der minimalistische Shot ist super. 👍
Great images! I’ve got an Olympus trip 35 and love the compact fixed lens rangefinder experience!
Hey hey there, I also have a GTN (black)
and I like the last photo with the dog.
Keep shootin'
i love that first print
Ich besitze sie Yashica auch. Sie sieht super chic aus, die Bilder sind auch wirklich gut. Und ich mag die Farben des Industrial sehr. Ich habe noch 10 Rollen davon 😀 von 100er, nicht vom 400er.
Dein Glück, dass du keinen 400er hast, sonst müsste ich bei dir einbrechen. :D
Happy I found your channel. Great video and pictures.
Love the video, love Yashica Electro 35 GSN, I'm proud owner of one exsample 🙂
Lens is beautiful and exposure system is great.
I would like to see more videos featuring this camera.
Thank you 👍
It's my first time watching a video from you. I love your photos! and Berlin seems to be very street photography - friendly hahaha subscribed!! :)
Welcome! :)
I have one of this camera and I can say that is a really good alternative for the beginning.
Great photo tour in the city. THX
Hello from New Zealand. One of my favourite films to shoot street photography with. Wish I had bought a lot more of it when I was in Japan last year.
Love the photo of the girl with the smartphone
Nice video, great camera, thanks for uploading. May I add that I find the 45mm lens doesn’t suit you bad at all, brings out new composition ideas to your artistic spectrum... definetly should try a 50mm on your Leica.
Great video! It’s a cool camera, very affordable and that lens is really sharp. It would be awesome to see the electro 35 at night!
Fantastic set of images (and prints). Love the film too. It was really a beautiful day to shoot.
Too good, always very lovely photos. 🙏📸
Great Photos!
Great video! I’m definitely picking one of your zines.
Nice video, inspires so much
I've been thinking about getting this camera. I'm glad you shot with it. Thanks 🤓
Never heard of that film but the colours are great
Great video! The fuji colours really show in this film...soft pastels...I picked up a few rolls of this...keen to try them out!
I'm tempted to buy a film rangefinder, will take a look at this Yashica. Nice video!
6:59 Present and future... Excellent shot. I was interested to know how you handle the 45mm. I have a Minolta Hi-Matic 7s with the same focal length. If you can get it, it's a great camera. Cheers!!
