Film Tested: This camera has been tested with film and produces sharp, well-exposed images.
Condition:

This Yashica Electro 35 MC is in good vintage condition with signs of use that add to its character. The lens is clean and clear, and the viewfinder is bright. All functions operate as intended, except the green "auto" light is not functioning. This is a common issue with this model and does not affect the camera's functionality.

Note: The green light typically indicates correct exposure in auto mode. You can still achieve perfect exposures by using a handheld light meter or relying on the "sunny 16" rule for outdoor shooting. I was able to shoot all the test photos using the icon system on the lens to choose f-stop, or just selecting based off photographic knowledge.

Also to note, as seen in the photos, the winding arm for the rewind function is missing but can be rewound using the knob itself.
