Test shot from a Yashica minimatic-EL rangefinder. It's pretty much a point and shoot; but with a fast Yashinon-DX 45mm f/1.7!

The Yashica Minimatic-EL is basically rangefinder point and shoot. Focusing is done manually, but aperture and shutter speeds are automatically controlled by the camera, without indication of what they are. The shutter locks if there's not enough light. There is a bulb and aperture settings, but selecting an aperture puts the camera in a slow shutter and is meant for flash use.
Trying Arista 400 for the first time, at least in 35mm. It's the cheaper 400 speed alternative, along with Fomapan 400, to Ilford HP5, in terms of speed.
