I just found a little gem. Not sure if it works yet.

Its called a Rex but better known as a Pax M3 from Yamato.

Found it in a second hand shop by its leather case first and then weight.
Rex may be its release name in Australia.

Not sure if lenses are interchangable, it looks solid and not prepared to twist it yet. Biggest problem seems to be no screen inside.

Advance works, Rangefinder works, apatuer works, shutter a bit slow but may loosen up with use.

Speed is B to 300. Lens is Colour Luna, 1:2:8 F=45mm

Does anyone know about this camera?

Just found out name of camera seems to be Pax Ruby.
It may be a down market model but with non interchanagable lens.

Pics from other sies indicate no cloth screen, as no need to interchange lenses.
No light gets through.

Will give it a go on the weekend. Well if I can borrow a light meter.
