Yashica GSN...

[Seymore]

Got this and the Ansco Readyflash at a garage sale (boot sale for the Brits...) for 15 bones, American bones that is...

Not in the best of shape, and the battery chamber is all corroded...
But another good sample of 60's metal and glass.





click on any of the PICs to see the album...

This was perhaps most shocking camera to me, image quality is exceptional.

It's very nice. If I don't wrong this camera had auxiliary lenses (very short tele and a wide of 40 mm), and had a close focus lens with viewfinder corrector.

I will look for one too.

Thanks, Rino.

I have the wide and tele, never used them as they look to be a pain.

Essentially, you focus with the rf. Then you look up the distance on the lens on a scale on the adaptor lens... and read back the new distance, which you then set your taking lens to.

In other words the adatpters change the focus distance and lose rf coupling.

That close up attachement on the other hand, with it's rf overlay, should allow correct coupling.
