the sounds that Yashica Electro GSN makes

[geezer]

Damian, I hve a PX625A in mine and it works...I'm just not sure if the voltage is correct for the meter. I can't seem to find out if the G111 is voltage dependent. I will try a 675 and see if it makes a difference. Since the battery compartment is also snug in mine it will likely fit just fine. Thanks for the input.

Luketrash,.......
by film winder are you meaning the film advance or the rewind handle? Both are metal on my gsn. Mine is made in Hong Kong..your's?
I do like the 1000 iso of the gsn...wish it were higher. ..say 1600.
I have a Konica C35 [low end] with a similar latch on the back.
I'd like to see the covering on your G. Did it come standard or is it a refurbish?
I don't mind the black plastic grips on the focus ring..I just wish it had a small handle like the G111.
The case for mine was pretty trashed when I got it and the factory camera strap is vinyl??
I'd love to see some pictures !

It is unfortunately voltage dependent, and that 625A is 1.5v rather than 1.35. With the 1.4v ZA cell I have in mine, it checks up just right with my known correct meters.

I started the other thread for the reference photos. My GSN does indeed have a plastic rewind crank. It's simulated chromed plastic, whereas my G and GS have metal ones.

It could easily break on the GSN if I pulled up too hard on it.

Kinda hard to tell the differences without holding them in person. They all look similar.

Damian,
Plan on picking up a zinc 675 tomorrow. I thought my meter was off. Thanks again for the advice.

Luketrash,
You're right...they look an awful lot alike. I know what you're saying, there are several Nikons that look alike but feel very different. I'm anxious to get my hands on the GT.
Nice group of G cameras you've got. Thanks for sharing them.
Were those shot with a digital?

Yeah, those were all taken with my new Nikon D50 with the nikkor 50mm f1.8 lens.

I'm loving that setup, but it sure cost an arm and a leg. I just got all my b&w setup stuff this week though, so I'll be burning up the rangefinders until I run out of 100' of film. I have three arguses and 3 yashicas that all need attention 🙂

Bought a pack of 675 ZA and it fits fine and meter is working...now to run a roll, through it. Wish I could find a roll of 8 or 12 just for testing. Don't see those anymore. Thanks again for the advice.

That's why I bought bulk b&w film 🙂 I can finally experiment with all of the cameras I've picked up at estate sales and junk stores.
