SLR... Hmmm Haw...  I have exactly this camera at home.  I never knew it
has a removable lens (I haven't used it that much)... I will have to check.

It's actually a pretty nice little camera.  The only thing I really dislike
about it is that the delay between pressing the shutter release and the
shutter actually firing seems like an eternity, maybe even a second.

2001-04-17 Thread O'Neill, William

I too have one of these Yashica 'Electro 35' cameras.  Not an awfully bad camera.  I 
got mine for about $3 US at a garage sale.  However, it is no Spotmatic work-alike, 
look-alike, or anything-else-alike.  The lens is fixed, there is no depth of field 
preview and (of course) no mirror to lock up.  There is also no meter to look at, nor 
is there a battery check feature.  The battery, now there is another problem.  It 
takes a 5.6 volt Mercury cell.  Not all that easy to find these days.
