Lynx 14 vs. Electro 35 ?

I really think what you have is flare, and the way to solve it is to get the lens hood. I tend to use the top cover of ever-ready cases as a lens hood, to shade the lens. Saw that in a 1940's book "35mm Technique" and it stuck with me.

Clever idea!

Another quick question: for manual override like with the Yashica 14, are there any over/under lights or shutter lock?

Yashica Lynx 14 - No manual over-ride - it is manual all the time.
Yashica Electro - No manual over-ride - it is automatic shutter speed all the time.

Lynx has no over/under lights, and will always fire if cocked. Not automatic in any way.

The Electro (CC, GT, and GSN in my experience) have a mechanical shutter lock. It is located on the shutter and you rotate it like a collar to lock or unlock the shutter.

There is also the over/under shutter lock, which is electronic and only on the Electro series.

There is a wealth of information on all kids of Yashica rangefinders at

www.yashica-guy.com

Worth a look, really.

Hi.
Just for checking. These photos are frm my Electro 35.
I think these problem is the bad light seals. But what you think?
