www.yashicaguy.com has details on models plus a very neat little 
battery adaptor for about $15 including the battery! Yashica had the 
wit to design a circuit that works at any voltage from about 4-6.5V 
and they are very nice to use in terms of results and handling. 
Perhaps the best pf&s I ever had. There was even a late, compact 
model.
