Focuspoint on Yashica EE

[Prometheus]

Hello there! I have a few Yashicas. But on the first one I got, the Yashica EE ("drunken mens focus", or whats it called? 😉 ), focuspoint is really faint and hard to see. Anyone know if this is common problem, or maybe it was faded from the beginning, could it been a bad copy perhaps?

I'm just curious really, don't think I will fix it even if it's possible - I've got a Minister D I like more then the EE, and it has a good rangefinder thats easy to use. And I've got more models on the way I hope, have leading bid on a Minister III 🙂

I imagine the rangefinder patch is faded; I have an EE with a pretty bright patch that's easy to focus with. It's a nice camera though. The lens is the same one that's in the Lynx 1000 I believe which is, IMO, one of the best lenses Yashica ever made.

Thanks, yes that's probably it. A bit sad, for otherwise I like the EE, and it don't need batteries which is great! 😉
