Yashica: Lynx 5000 and Lynx 1000
The Lynx 1000 (right) debuted in 1960 followed two years later by the updated Lynx 5000 (left). Since I own good examples of both cameras, I thought that maybe a quick compare and contrast might be in order. Beyond trim changes, the most obvious difference between these two is replacement of the 1000's selenium meter with a more sensitive CdS cell in the 5000. The CdS cell required both a battery and a meter switch visible on the camera front above the pc flash synch plug.
