This is one of the "Last Samurais" before the "Plastic Age". The Yashica MG-1 is a "full size" rangefinder. Some wouldn't like its automatic functions but its a feature which makes it easy to use. The almost total lack of manual control is no doubt a limitation. It is achieved with a higher cost. The Yashica MG-1 is however designated to a person who did not put value on such oddity.

Kamera Leica dibeli pada harga RM8.6 juta
VIENNA: Sebuah kamera Leica model 1923 yang sukar didapati lagi ketika ini, dilelong pada harga 2.16 juta euro (RM8.57 juta) di Vienna, hujung minggu lalu.
Ini menjadikan ia kamera termahal pernah dijual.
Seorang pembeli yang tidak dikenali membuat bidaan untuk mendapatkan kamera buatan Jerman itu yang masih berfungsi dan merupakan satu antara lima versi ujian Leica 0-Series yang dikeluarkan pada 1923, dua tahun sebelum siri itu dikeluarkan.
Hanya beberapa kamera jenis itu masih tersimpan dalam keadaan baik.
