Yashica "Ejector" (?)

[Trius]

I dropped into a shop today to pick up some Tri-X (merciful has me back in the Tri-X fold!), and I quickly perused some used equipment.

There sitting on a cold, impersonal shelf, was a Yashica Ejector. At least that's how I recall its model designation. It sports an f1.4 lens (40mm I think), and appeared to be oriented to make flash photos.

Anyone know about this camera? The price was low, I think because of a peculiar battery requirement and as-is designation.

Maybe it was "Electro"?

Sure enough - Ejector

I suspect however, that it is called something else, and that is just the flash bulb ejector button we see.

I'm guessing based on the bit of tag at the bottom that it is one of the "Flash-O-Set" models that preceeded the Minister
