Yashica Electro GSN

Few days ago, inspired by momentary feelings I bid on Yashica Electro GSN on eBay and won. I was thinking to have silent small camera which I can drop and will not miss. And as second though, nice camera for my daughter. So I have received camera Friday and try it yesterday. Today I already scanned negatives from it. Camera works, but one can’t expect from it quality of Nikon lenses. Whatever people can say. Yes it is ok, but not as sharp as I am getting from my Nikon F100. But of course it is not fair to compare. And I am not doing that. It is silent, very silent, you here only silent click. The shutter release feel little like toy. It has long way down until shutter is released. In a middle way it turns on light meter and you can hear some kind of electrical switching in the body. You hear it only because your nose is on camera, but nobody else is able to. I am glad it works, I payed something around 30 euro for it including delivery. It will be nice camera for my daughter I think.
