It is close to the TTL flash systems today (more like ATL). ![]() The GX features a Flash Pulse Selector auto flash system, if it's used with the ES-20 Auto strobe. The GX represents the best compromise between big, fast lens and compact design. ![]() The 40mm lens is slightly wider and easier to use than the usual 45mm lenses though not as wide as the 35mm Yashica CC, it does not have the shutter and diaphragm compromises. The silicon meter new to the GL and GX is more reliable than Cds cells, and MUCH more responsive. It is basically the same camera as the Yashica GL (great camera), but quite a bit smaller (even better). The GX is routinely referred to as the zenith of all the previous Electro 35 rangefinder cameras. Film speeds of ISO 25 to 800 are supported. The shutter is an electronic Copal leaf shutter, which means flash sync at any speed (great for fill flash). There is NO manual mode, which is a limitation. Over and under exposure arrows light up to warn the user if shutter speed needs to be higher than 1/500 or lower than 1/30. The camera is aperture-priority ONLY: set the aperture, and the camera decides the shutter speed (stepless from 1/500 to several seconds). It has a Color Yashinon DX 40mm 1:1.7 lens, a hot shoe and PC connection, a 8-second self timer and shutter lock. The Yashica GX is the last of the fast-lens Electro 35 series.
