Shame about the yashica! Looked like the solenium light cell had been left exposed to the light and gone bad, the light meter wasn't working? I think the shutter was just stuck through lack of use, it's surprising how quickly they loosen up with just a few clicks of the shutter! I bought a Konica C35 automatic with a stuck shutter for £10 recently, took around 5 minutes of firing the shutter to free it up.👍 I've added your channel, hopefully you'll connect with a retro photographer 📸
I've experienced the stuck shutter on other similar rangefinders, and also had success with freeing it just by winding and firing. The first time I fired the shutter it sounded like it wanted to work, but that was the most response I got out of it. Additionally, the Konica C35 is a great camera, especially at that price! Great find!
I saw a sign the other day for a Sunday flea market in the Berlin Cromwell area. I will check out the sign again and post the details here, if there are any of note
love your videos man, currently binge watching all of your videos XD
This is the highest form of compliment I can receive, thank you!!
