I purchased an early 1970’s Yashica Electro35. It was a beautiful copy in like-new condition.

The original battery for the camera is no longer in production. However, this copy had been modified with an adapter to accept a modern replacement. In short, it was fully functional in theory, but it remained untested on my shelf for about three years.

Then, a few months ago, my daughter took a couple disposable Fuji film cameras on a trip to Japan. We sent them for processing a good lab, and the results were fantastic. I printed a few of them at home and loved the result. It inspired me to pull the Yashica off my shelf and give it a try. I also decided to buy a few disposable Fuji cameras, like the ones she had use, for my own upcoming trip to Brazil. Again, I loved the results. The gallery below are some of the photos I’ve taken with the Yashica and the Fuji disposables.
