Yasuhara on eBay

Profiled on the owner's site but rarely seen for sale, this is arguably
the camera that started the 35mm "rangefinder renaissance":

I've never handled one, but they have a reputation for light leaks through the shutter. Apparently they used a single, slr-style, shutter which can't keep all the light out all of the time. It's recommended to keep the lens cap on all the time unless you're actually about to take a picture. I think this experience is what led Cosina to use a double shutter on the Bessa series.

Very pretty.
I wonder what framelines it has for that huge looking finder.
