1968 Yashica Lynx 5000E test and Review - AWESOME RANGEFINDER CAMERA

[@Whywas6scared]

Great video. No boring padding, and extras such as the viewfinder illustration and the images of the lightbulbs and circuitry really enhance it.

Just got my Lynx 5000 serviced. Works like new. Looks like new, too.

Excellent

On rangefinders for cheap - definitely zorki and fed. They’re actually quite reliable when in good condition. I shot slide film on my zorki 1 and got perfectly exposed slides(so precise shutter speeds), and there’s loads and loads of cheap m39 lenses on local(local as in my location - ukraine) online flea markets. Jupiter 3 with zorki 1 is my favourite combo. Also, rare red FED 2 with jupiter 8.

Zorkis and Fed were cool to me a while ago, back when people did not think they're made out of solid gold. I've seen several sellers here trying to get $500 for a Zorki 4 which is cray-cray !

At the time, it was much more modern and cheaper than the Rangefinder cameras from Leica. This model reminds me a lot of my Yashica Reporter. Thank you for your well-made video, Bernie

They offer me this same camera, I have heard people complain about the rangefinder, which is uncomfortable compared to other models, do you think that's how it is?

[@ojoerudito7274]

Hi! i read some people complaining about the ragefinder... is that true? i have a noticiable miopia... i read some comparations vs Konika S2 and readed about a better ragefinders in the Konica... I dont have experience in analogic stuff... what do you think? thank you

[@MrAnalogDan12]

I don't know about the Konica S2. But this one has no issues to me.

Dear Mr. Dan, I am a newcomer to film photography and I am wondering where I can buy the cheapest (but still good quality) black and white film in Belgium. Both for 35mm and 120mm. I have a Minolta XG M and a Lubitel 2. Thanks in advance! Geert
