Here we have a very nice Yashica Lynx 5000e 35mm film rangefinder camera.

This camera is in great condition. It is an all-manual mechanical camera that works without batteries. The light meter has not been tested for accuracy and the battery compartment shows corrosion. I suspect that the light meter does not work, so the camera is being sold as-is and can be used as a fully manual camera without light meter assistance. Since the camera's shutter speed and aperture are manually selected, the camera can still be used perfectly with an external meter or by metering by eye.

The film compartment is clean and free of corrosion and debris, the lens glass is clear and clean, the shutter and aperture blades are oil-free and actuate perfectly. The focus ring spins nicely, all levers and buttons function as they should. The rangefinder and viewfinder are both nice and clear, with a decently contrasting focus patch. There is some debris on the external glass of the viewfinder/rangefinder area which can be cleaned by the end user or a professional camera repairer. These blemishes do not impact photo quality, or use. Of course since these blemishes are present the camera is being sold at a discount.

This camera comes with a Yashinon 45mm F/1.8 fixed fast prime lens. This is a perfect focal length for general photography, snap shots, and street photography. It's an exceptionally sharp lens, excellent at resolving detail, and Yashica's glass does very well to enhance contrast and render colors accurately.

It will be packaged securely and shipped immediately.
