The Yashica Electro 35 is one of the most iconic 35mm rangefinders ever made, celebrated for its exceptionally sharp Yashinon-DX 45mm f/1.7 lens and aperture-priority automatic exposure. Set your aperture, focus through the bright coupled rangefinder, and the stepless electronic shutter handles the rest — from approximately 30 seconds to 1/500 second.

Beloved by street photographers and portrait shooters for its fast lens, quiet operation, and distinctive rendering, the Electro 35 delivers beautiful results with rich character. A classic choice if you want rangefinder handling with one of the best fixed lenses in film camera history.

The Yashica Electro 35 was originally designed to use the PX32 (4HM) 5.6V mercury battery, which is no longer manufactured. Compatible alternatives include:

• 4LR44 (6V) alkaline battery — most commonly used
• 1 × CR123A + 1 × LR44 stacked together — works as a convenient replacement
• PX32 battery adapter using four LR44 or SR44 button cells
• Custom 3D-printed battery adapters designed specifically for the Electro 35

A timeless rangefinder renowned for its fast lens, intuitive automatic exposure, and distinctive vintage rendering — an outstanding choice for both collectors and photographers looking to experience one of Yashica's finest creations.
