I think, before setting up such price, they should have painted it better - I mean, not all parts are "gold". I even don't mention terms of payment/shipping.

Anyway, there are not many users choosing gold colored cameras. I definitely wouldn't.

You noticed front element is plain glass, not gold? 😀

 

[cweg]

Yes, I noticed 🙂) even the Chromescrews and some leaving "gold" at the Topplate. I wonder why a recommended Seller doing this?

Recession. Money has no value, gold has. And it's solid brick of it.

Shouldnt it be the GTN version? 5,000,000 cameras sold?

I did see 2 of these on the bay last week.
They look original! but where did they come from?

I were surprised that Gold camera actually were GTN with golden covers, not with golden lens as some of appearing on flickr/ebay. And right, just as you Clark.EE say, to commemorate 5000000 cameras (probably, this number counts all G 35 series cameras, not only GSN/GTN).

I hardly get fact that bottom cover of that rare camera is ending up on ebay, likely badly repainted. Comparing picture on Yashica Guys site and selling one, I conclude there were also batch of chrome GSNs which could explain paintwork. Any other ideas?
