It's a Yashicamat EM. It is in fact a selenium metered camera (the dealer who sold it to me said so.) Frantisek, thanks for the info on the selenium meters. I took the camera to Adorama. Turns out they don't do repairs, but they refered me to a place called Panorama Camera at 124 West 30th St. They told me to leave it there and call tomorrow to find out if it can be fixed and what it will cost. From what Frantisek said, it sounds like I might be better off just buying a meter, but I'll wait to hear what they say. By the way, Panorama Camera had tons of old equipment and collectible cameras which appeared to be in mint condition. A lot of it was rather pricey, but I'm sure at least a lot of it works. Worth checking out for those in or near the city. Coincidentally, I did a search for Yashicamat on Google and I came up with the website of our own Francis Tang. Thanks for the link to the Yashicamat faq, Francis! ;) - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
