Dec 21: Shooting the Electro

Near silhoutte SP with the Yashica Electro 35 GTN. I've been a bit range-finder obsessed of late. The little Oly 35 RC's battery died, a problem as it takes a 1.35v mercury cell which is now illegal in most parts of the world. Not to worry, there are some modern solutions. So until I can get that one up and running again, the big old Yash should stave off my cravings for a Leica M2 or a Bessa R3A...

Nothing better to be obsessed with than rangefinders! BTW, the R3a is closer to the M3 than the M2. R3a has 1:1 finder, M3 has .91 finder but M2 has .72 finder. I am worried now, I knew this information without a seconds thought - you think YOU are obsessed?
