The Electro 35 GSN is a 35mm rangefinder camera released from Yashica of Japan in 1973. It is the silver chrome version of the Electro 35 GTN and is the update to the previous Electro 35 GS. Its main improvement is the addition of a hot shoe. The Copal leaf shutter of this Yashica rangefinder camera provides quiet operations from 1/500 to 30 seconds and can flash sync at all speeds.
