Does the battery in the Yashica 124G Mat only operate the light meter. If so when it fails, will a hand held light meter do instead?

Hi Vincent,

I have just had a look at the manual on the Butkus site and it says that the battery is to power the meter. The shutter is a Copal SV that I think is mechanical so a separate meter should be OK.

Have a look at : http://www.butkus.org/chinon/yashica...a_mat_124g.htm

Cheers

Bill
