The Yashica
Lynx 14E made 1966-1971. A cool camera with big glass!! with a f/1.4 lens,
the fastest fixed lens rangefinder. The camera takes really great
photos, feels very solid, indestructible even!!
Fun with
this camera.
I haven't had a chance to play with this camera yet. It takes fine
photos but I think the meter is no good (who needs a meter anyhow?) it
shows signs of a previous tinkerers! work, aperture ring has no click
stops and the wind lever screw is scratched so I'm not to keen to open
it up and see what else has happened to it.
