Very nice collection. I wish Jakarta had more of a used camera market, but it seems as if the nation is completely in love with the image of ‘the new’.

It’s like a drug. My collection is growing babies. I just bought a Konica C35.

I was trying for a long time to get my hands on the Canonet and the Electro. I finally managed to buy the Electro 35 GS on eBay for something liks US$40 (US$20 for shipping), but it needed a CLA when it got here for $150. Had to get the battery compartment changed to accept regular batteries (instead of the mercury ones it was built for), change the light seals, and the cleaning of fungus. All these old cameras need proper CLA.. which can be costly. I paid S$50 for the Canonet. Someone who had it but didn’t realize the collector’s value of this poor man’s leica sold it to me. It also needed a costly CLA. I paid something like US$60 each for 2 Olympus XA2s but I wasn’t too attracted to their plastic bodies so I sold them, and found the Canonet and Electro to be of better value.

Can you share where you got the Canonet QL17 & Yashica Electro 35 GS and how much you paid for them?
