Hi
I've recently bought a very inexpensive Electro 35 at a street market, very nice cosmetics, ERC with minor signs of use. I've used 4 VartaV625U batteries, plus a 1 cent coin and a spring. Loaded the camera with a roll of Maco UP 100. I've made some shots in Funchal, Madeira Island. I was surprised with the ease of use of this camera, especially the almost inaudible shutter - being used to FSU cameras, I doubted sometimes that the shutter had fired...
Great camera! Some pictures from this roll (and one of the camera)
Regards
Joao

Nice work, I especially like the dramatic sky in the firs one. The shutter is indeed very smooth. Your camera looks to be in very nice condition.
 
Congratulations too,
I love more the third image. G Yashicas are soooooo underpriced. The best bargain today.

Cheers,
Ruben

What kind of building or structure is the third photo of?

Hello
The building is a hotel in Funchal, planned and designed by Oscar Niemeyer - yes, the same Brazillian genius that planned and designed Brasilia and many other buildings around the world.
