So I bought a C35EF3

[bjorn46]

I've got my mothers red EF3 with original wriststrap, cap and pouch. I have not tested the camera yet, but i appears to be in great shape. However, the pouch shows signs of quite a bit of use.

Can anybody out there help me with the spesifications of the camera, how the auto exposure system works, etc.

Congrats Bjorn, ballpark values are 1/60-1/500, 35mm f2.8 5el/4gr. Exposure is fully auto. Maybe someone can comment on speed/aperture values EF3 typically choose, I don't.

Have got some pics from C35 EF3. Awesome camera!

Nice shots there btgc, that lens is awfully good.

Thanks sweathog, I agree lens is sweet! EF3 made me skipping original C35 - very common AA batteries and yes, I don't miss rangefinder (there are plenty other cameras for this) !

small update: some time ago I got red Ricoh 1+2-pod, but I like Yashi ST-7 better for practical use.
Ricoh isn't leveling perfectly, need to adjust head. Maybe this is true reason. But it's cute, it's right word.
Btw have seen same construction under different brand.

And believe or not, I accidentally won (what an expression, right?) another EF3 - white this time. Just no one put bit more than me. Now I'll have British combo, red and white.
What next - exposing gear shots, mhm?

Can't wait to see them all lined up btgc, that'll look very nice!

Don't wait for this sweathog 😀 Today took a look at manufacturer's site for shutter speeds (can't hold them all in mind) and Holy Film, there are 7 varieties of them - while I thought only 5 exist!

Just loaded red one with film. If EF3 would have aperture control, I'd be using it more often.
