Like most fridays, my friends and I got together to go out to eat, but this time we took a detour to our local Salvation Army. My friend was hoping to find a cheap halloween costume while I was curious as to what cameras they had in stock, if any. After seeing some really depressing point and shoots, my friend pointed to a possibly interesting find behind the counter. So after asking to see the camera, it turns out that it was an old Yashica Electro 35 GSN. These cameras were very popular in the 60s when they were first introduced. In fact, you probably have a relative who owns one of these somewhere locked away in storage collecting dust. The name electro actually refers to the electromagnets that operate the electronic shutter. That's right, its an aperture priority camera. Actually it was the first of its kind to introduce this. Unfortunately there isn't any way to manually choose the shutter other than 'bulb' mode which works just how it sounds and the 'flash' mode which limits the shutter to 1/30th of a second...
