Yashica TL Electro X 35mm SLR with 50mm f/1.7 Lens – Shutter Working

Description

The Yashica TL Electro X is a solid, metal‑bodied 35mm SLR known for its reliability, M42 lens compatibility and distinctive electronically‑controlled exposure system. It features a bright viewfinder, smooth mechanical operation and classic 1960s/70s styling.
This example comes with the Yashica 50mm f/1.7 standard lens and a working shutter, but the viewfinder lights are not functioning, so metering is not available.

Condition

Overall Condition: Good (with noted fault)
Shutter fires correctly at all tested speeds. Film advance, rewind and mechanical functions operate smoothly. Viewfinder is clear.
The viewfinder meter lights do not illuminate, so exposure must be set manually or with an external meter.
The 50mm f/1.7 lens focuses smoothly, aperture blades are clean and snappy, and optics present well with no haze or fungus. Body shows typical cosmetic wear for age.

Included
