The Mamiya Korvette dates from 1962 and is a Copal leaf shuttered non-interchangeable lens SLR with uncoupled selenium meter. It was also sold badged as the Mamiya Family and the Mamiya Saturn in different parts of the world. I'm afraid it would have little value - except maybe to a collector of the marque.

The Yashica Electo 35 GSN is the final version of the Electro 35 models. IIRC about 1974. Stepless shutter in a good f1.7 lens gives automatic exposure from just under EV 7 to EV 18 at ISO 100. Good looking camera and handles well. Usual faults are stuck shutter, meter not working, warning LEDs not working. You can get £45 or so for a good working one, more if near-mint or the GTN (black body). Expect about half that on eBay.

Pretty much everything you need to know about the Electro 35 (and then some...)
I've got one, nice camera if a bit chunky. Very nice lens - Sample pic...
