Hey there, guys !
Greetings to everyone from Bulgaria ! I really find this rangefinderboard very cool and with few days only reading im having the impression that you guys really aware of what we are talkin about
and the really worthy stuff . I just love shootin film and such gems as the GS, GT, GSN, GTN and Lynx 14 have totaly occupied my mind the last few months :bang:. Im sure you totaly know what im talkin about .
Im still wondering between the G's and the Lynx 14s and ill ask for you opinion here . Is there a big difference in the lens quality ? and how visible is it on the picture. Because ive heard the lynx 14 is more problematic and HEAVY lol.
Well thats not the basis of my thread here ... I really wanna find a good, working , tested piece to buy .. well and for a reasonable price .. im not really able to spend much money on such toy.. because i just dont have spare $$... Im nonstop looking at the auctions at ebay, but most of the pieces are really doubtful and since ive already recieved 2 packages ( of 3 bought ) which were not really working well - a Spotmatic II and AE-1 ( and i had to pay for repair here in bulgaria ) .. im starting to be really suspicious and pesimistic for the ebay stock. And the problem is that the price isnt really low enough to shoot blindly. I have 2 friends which bought a GT and GSN for like 10-15 euros from germany, used visible condition but its a gift. And well thats why im writing ! Please help me find a good working yashi :angel: ! Lolz ..
Any other places except ebay ? local auctions or something lol or if you have a spare good working one ill be happy to buy it from someone who can confirm its condition .
Thanks ..

hey, they're only Zorkis
Welcome to RFF! I don't have any personal experience with dealers with Yashicas. There are a few Yashicas in the RFF Classifieds; you might have seen them. Keep a daily watch there. Maybe others will post here with more info about retailers.
I recently picked up a Lynx.14 at a local flea market, but haven't tested it as yet. It needs some major cleaning; the battery compartment looks rough, but I hopefully can make some improvements on it. And you are correct. For a 35mm RF, it is quite a hunk of camera.
Good luck.
