The GSN was introduced in the early 1970s as an updated version of the Electro 35, retaining the sharp 45mm f\/1.7 lens while adding a hot shoe for electronic flash. Its combination of a fast lens, coupled rangefinder, and straightforward automatic exposure has made the Electro 35 series a popular classic among 35mm film photographers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTESTED \u0026amp; WORKING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis camera has been function tested and is working.
