I have a Yashica Electro 35. It’s one of my favorite. Its electronics is broken and it has only one shutter speed, that is 1/500. Full time shutter speed priority! Here in Bangladesh you can only find ISO 100 and 200 films. So it’s a bit pain to use it. But I love the experience.
I don’t use it much though. Film processing and scanning is costly. Even so, it produced a lot of my best shots. For some reason it has a lot better success rate. I can take hundreds of shots with my Canon PS but most of the times all are useless. But one roll taken with that Electro will always produce at least 5 good and a couple awesome ones. It has a character that no PS of even a DSLR has. Feels like photos taken with this camera has a soul…
This was the first shot taken with it. I was in a bus. Focused at infinity. Can’t remember the aperture.
