My dad has never been a camera geek. He just wanted a good camera to take pictures of the family. When I asked him why he chose the Yashica Electro over an SLR, he said he had never used an SLR before, and after his Rollei 35 was stolen, someone told him the Yashica was as good as the Rollei.
He bought the Electro 35 in 1978. Last year, he gave it to me in fairly good working order . I had to adjust the rangefinder, enhance the yellow spot by putting a small piece of exposed film on the rangefinder window, but at the end of it, I had a beautiful working camera.
Feels good to document my daughter's life with the same camera that was used to document mine.
Here is a photo of myself and my brother taken by my dad in 1979:
Here is one of my daughter taken nearly 30 years later with the very same camera on Feb 20th 2008:
