#REPAIR MANUAL YASHICA ELECTRO 35 GX ISO#To_mmaso: No, just treat it as a normal 100 iso film, remember you've just "calibrated"/adjusted the light meter to meter correct. Hi tom! When you develop the film, do you develop it as 100 or as 320? Hope this helps, any more questions, just ask. ![]() I started to use hearing aid batteries on my other cameras and never looked back. The hearing aid batteries are cheap, but battery life is limited. ![]() The voltage on the sr/lr 44 batteries are not constant, the voltage will decrease as time passes, but they will last much longer. The voltage on the hearing aid batteries are constant till they are exhausted. You may also use hearing aid batteries 675 sink to air, the 675 batteries are have the same measurements as the lr/sr 44 batteries, but the voltage is lower and correct for the Yashica GX. I had to use tiny washers between the battery and the adapter to make permanent contact.ĭue to the higher voltage of the sr/lr 44 batteries, I set my iso to 320 when shooting 100 iso film. #REPAIR MANUAL YASHICA ELECTRO 35 GX HOW TO#People have mentioned the use of tin foil, but can anyone be a bit more specific with respect to how to use the tin foil? Thanks!Īlimsheikh: The tin foil might not give constant contact, I bought 2 of these: Hi all, none of the above seem to work for me? I have tried using 4 x LR44 batteries which dont work. I bought battery adapter for SR44 batteries on ebay, but I had to use tiny washers to make them work. They have lasted close to a year without a hiccup!Ī year! That's great! Which batteries did you use?Ģ NEW A640PX 1.5v alkaline battery A640 PX640 LR52 MR52ĭirt cheap lr44 for several months and no problem so far. I found them from an eBay vendor in China. People say that they don't last long (~ 1 month), but a pack of 6 batteries cost £5, not that expensive. I started using 2 x 1.4V Zinc Air batteries (675ZA) and everything is fine now. I have read in many places that using 2 x 1.5V batteries would be just fine but the LR44 didn't work for me, underexposed results (I still have to use the SR44 though). The instruction booklet of the GX says that it uses 2 x 1.4V Mercury PX640. 2 x 1.5 volt batteries please, not four!! #REPAIR MANUAL YASHICA ELECTRO 35 GX SERIES#The GX requires 3 volts not 6! Some of the other Yashica rangefinders series cameras do require 6 volts but not the GX. The original batteries i found in the camera when buying are 2 National HM-N batteries (each 1.5 V exactly) No! Its two SR44 and one spring in the other side! Surely thats too much voltage isn't it? It seems to work but will the exposure meter be incorrect? I understand Yashica's have a wide latitude of voltage tolerance but this is quite a lot. ![]() You see the two PX640 batteries were 1.35 volts each (2.7 volts) but now I have 4 LR44's in there which is 4 x 1.5 volts = 6 volts. I did the double LR44 method with some aluminum foil but now am a little confused. You could use a scrunched up piece of aluminium foil if you like. In the other slot I just stuck in a spring I got out of an old ball point pen. Thanks in advance.ĭid you find the batteries? Another road is to buy the adapters on eBay and us the SR44.Ģx SR44 will fit in one of the 640 battery slots. The SR44 is more easily avialalbe though. In another thread SR44 is mentioned while in other places LR52/PX640A is mentioned. I am a bit confused about the right batteries. I recently rediscovered it and am itching to try it. I have had a GX which was bought new by my father visiting Japan in 1976. ![]()
