Yashica Electro 35 GL

[mangamonster]

Hello fellow Yashic'ers 😉

I found a manual online for a Yashica Electro 35 GL, July, 1973 - ?
Supposedly it was a higher end model for it's time and sold for approx ¥32,000 ($310, 1973 dollars) when it debuted.

I have found virtually no info on this on the net besides a few Japanese websites, which of course, I don't understand.

Does anyone have the specs on this camera? It looks much like the GX...I read on another thread that an owner was able to shoot asa 1600 on it, which is unheard of on any other Electro models.

Any info would be appreciated 🙂

the only places I know of that have some info on these is the Yashica guys website and Karen Nakamuras website. FWIW I have several models of the Yashica RF's; but no manual for this model. If you find a site, put up the link.
