This just arrived in the post. $10 on eBay, and needs a little work. My very first decent camera was a Yashica Minister, so I couldn't pass this up!

here's one a little different.

Can I just add that I'm new to this forum, and I am already in awe of the skills just in this thread. I mean shots like the above, which could have been just a bare shot of a camera like I did, somehow tell a whole story. And some of you guys seem to be able to get fantastic images from your iPhone. Anyway, some great work here

Meter works, but instead of fiddling with it, I just guess exposures. It needs light seals though.

The GL is to me a better handling model than the original G series, especially with the meter cell inside the filter ring for instant compensation.

I have two of these. Both function well. Seeing this thread reminded to remove the batteries as the cameras do not see much use any more.

I like your picture of the extender lens. They work much better than the reviews allow, but the lookup tables for modifying the focus distance are rubbish. Simply reset the focus to .77 of what is measured for the tele-extender, and to 1.19 for the wide.

To infinity and beyond!
Added this MG-1 to my fleet yesterday for $5 at the flea market. Still gotta go through it and adjust it, but the rangefinder is aligned well, no dents in filter ring or body, POD might be gone, and is overall pretty good for a find in the wild.
