I picked one of these up on Ebay in the UK last year.No rangefinder,but I was attracted by it's Yashinon 38mm/2.8 lens.It has auto exposure with a top shutter speed of 650,and manual focussing using four symbols.
The original recommended battery was 1.3v,EP-675E,or RM-675R.Can anyone tell me the modern battery equivalent.Also does anyone know when the history of the camera, and when it was on the market etc..
Cheers,
Brian.

Many thanks both,that's a great help!!
I took the battery details from a copy of a user manual,but it looks as though an LR 44 will do the trick,so I'll get one tomorrow.
I was thinking that this may be a good starter camera for my eldest granddaughter in a couple of years.She almost 5,and someone gave her a Barbie Doll fixed focus camera last Xmas.Since when she has shot 4 films,with increasing efficiency,and seems to love the whole thing!
Thanks again,
Brian.

Fitted an LR 44,and she came back to life!Hopefully our sunny weather will continue for a while so that I can give her a run out.
