Night photos with a Yashica GSN

[ray*j*gun]

Have to apologize.....I read here somewhere (a while back) a thread that dealt with using a GSN type auto exposure camera for night work. For the life of me I can't find that thread.

I'm doing a job that will need a night panorama of the Jersey coast and I want to try my GSN and see if that will do the job. Any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks!!

Is this the thread you were looking for?

Sometimes it helps to use Google search (with "site:rangefinderforum.com" to limit searches to RFF) rather than the built-in RFF search, which I often find to be of limited use.

That reminds me, I need to start using the GSN I have sitting at home!

Yes EXACTLY......thank you and for that tip about Goggle!!!!

And these gems are selling for the amount of the shipping get one and have it serviced and its still a huge bargin.

Just tested my GSN and it seems to hold the shutter open for a full 30 seconds......that's great! But, my MG1 wont go beyond a second......does anyone know if the MG1 should also work the same way as the GSN?

Thanks!

MG-1's slowest speeds is, I believe, 2 sec.
