Nice, Mike, I imagine this takes the C/Y mount as well?

This one is M42, but I would think Yashica made it in C/Y. Do not know for sure. I intend to test this one, eventually. Need batteries.

Just an FYI
The battery should be 3v. The battery holder holds the 6v px28 like it belongs there. Yashica used that 6v in a lot of cameras and it is easy to think this is one of them. You will likely need to rig something for the 3v. Pretty easy to do. Of all the TL's I've come across most have had meter problems. Usually it is a burned out diode in the viewfinder. Either the up or down arrow. Sad Nice camera to shoot using the sunnyf16 rule (f16sunshine baby Cha!). Laughing

I've got one and the batteries are available, you need 2x640a 3 volt, think I got mine from Brewsters Batteries in Plymouth uk. This wasn't made in c/y mount nearest would be the FX-1/2 which as the model between this and the later FR. Nice camera and very robust I've had some nice results with it.
