you picked up a wonderful camera, imho. I have a
yashicamat (broken)a yashica lm and a yashica 44lm.
most people i know that shoot yashicas use a hand held
light meter even if they have a built in one. more
accurate i think. i shoot a roll of color to 3 or 4
of b&w. just put in a dark room over christmas.
quite enjoy it.
