Yashica Pentamatic 35
Yashica is now also entering the 35mm SLR derby with the Pentamatic, featuring its own unique bayonet mount. (It is not the later Contax/Yashica mount.)
The Pentamatic includes "modern" camera features such as pentaprism viewing, rapid-wind lever, evenly-spaced single-dial shutter speeds, and an instant-return mirror. However the aperture is still semi-automatic: tripping the shutter also stops down the lens to taking aperture, but it does not reopen for brightest viewing until the film is wound on.
