Taking headshots or pictures of found objects. With the Yashica, as you focus closer, the viewfinder gridlinesĪctually move to compensate for the amount of parallax. Problem with rangefinders is that they aren't fully What-You-See-Is-What-You-Getīecause of the small amount of parallax difference between the rangefinder windowĪnd the taking lens.
Rangefinder on the GS is not only fully coupled (i.e., focusing the rangefinderįocuses the lens) but it also has built-in parallax compensation. Thus, the only interchangeable lensĬameras with leaf shutters are medium and large format (Mamiyas, Hasselblads,īut for fixed-lens rangefinders, leaf shutters are perfect. Diaphragm leaf shutters are complex and building one into each lens is prohibitivelyĮxpensive.Leica) and 1/8000 sec for vertical travel Compare this to 1/1000 secįor horizontal travel shutters (e.g. The maximum shutter speed is usually 1/500 sec.If you're curious, the disadvantages of leaf shutters is: Can flash sync at all speeds - even the maximum shutter speed of 1/500 sec.Sideways (horizontal shutter) or vertically (vertical travel shutter). Is unilinear and (think Newton's Law) it causes the camera to jerk slightly With a focal plane shutter, the intertial movement It has no net effect on the entire camera body, thus transferring very little And with leaf shutters, the inertial mass is centripetal, so Diaphragm shutters have much less inertial mass than a focal
Just a near silentĬlick as the diaphragm opens and then a second one when it closes. There is no whirring during long (> 1 sec.) exposures. Because the shutter timer is electromechanical, The Yashica gives only an inaudible "click."

Not use through-the-lens (TTL) metering, the CdS cell is located to the right The shutter speed from 1/500 sec to 30 seconds automatically for you. that is, you set the aperture from f/1.7 to f/16 and the camera will choose The T indicates a black top plate as opposedĮntirely stepless from 1/500 to about 30 seconds. ? Added "Color" designation to lens, but no change in design Prettyĭifferentiates the GS from the GSN? Here's an evolution chart: 1966 Electro 35 Hot-shoe and changed the design of the rewind lever and called it the GSN.

With the Electroģ5 in 1968, the series added the new Copal-Electro shutter, which was electromagneticallyĬontrolled. Lineage to the Yashica Lynx of 1960 (actually the Yashica 35 of 1958 is earlier,īut the family resemblance is further). Than the silver GS (¥24,500 vs ¥27,000) because chrome is much more Interestingly, the black bodied GT was actually cheaper Since they are more "professional." I can't tell the difference in They are (I'm a user not a collector), they value the black paint models While the 'T' stands for a black paint model.
