Such a fun ride tagging along on your Yashica Electro 35 GT adventure! Loved seeing you test out that expired film and hearing your thoughts on the camera's quirks.
I got the Electro 35 GSN as my first rangefinder, currently halfway through my 1st roll and I'm so excited to see the results! Yours came out great, really love them.
That is one GOOD BOY! cute doggo. I just ordered this model and found your channel. I like your vibe man. Not too much not trying to be super artsy. Just genuinely being yourself. Subscribed!
great video. One thing to tell people who may see one in a shop...pull the film advance lever and if the camera makes a soft "thunk" or "knock" sound mid-wind--then the camera is good. If the camera does not make a soft "thunk" when winding, then it is irreparably broken.
@@kevikronicles Mark Hama in Marietta, GA taught me that when I took a recent acquisition to him for repair. Mark spent decades building these cameras in Japan and bought out Yashica USA's parts when he moved to America. Not sure if he's still working, but he's the most knowledgable person regarding these and the Yashicamat 124 twin-lens cameras. Instead of fixing my camera, he sold me a new old stock Electro G with upgraded parts. I've only ever put one roll through it:)
That is incorrect. Absence of the "thunk"' is indicative of a deteriorated 'pad of death'. Definitely not irreparable. Very doable, even for a non camera technician, such as myself :). I've got two of these Electros. Recently replaced the pad on one of them. Works like a charm now.

@@kitchen76 Thanks for the tip also haha
@@kitchen76 Was about to say the same thing.
love all the photos mate, did you send the negatives to the lab or processed it by yourself?. again amazing!
Thanks so much! We use a lab called essential photo supplies in Utah they do an amazing job!
I just don't "get it". Why take such pointless photos? However the 35 is a great camera and thanks for the vid.
