This is a very sweet little zone-focusing compact from about 1970; this is one of the original models and not a later Brazilian version.
ME1 with CS10
As the film loads from the right, winding on is done through a knurled wheel in the base and I constantly find myself trying to wind-on in a clockwise motion - wrong! It's so easy to use and takes you right back to photographic basics. The CS-10 flash is a perfect match for this delightful bit of Yashica magic.

A 38mm lens -- perfect, in my opinion.
And a tiny flash -- it reminds me of my Vivitar 50.
Is the CS-10 usable on any hot shoe camera?

Hi xkaes,
Yes, the CS-10 can work with any hot shoe BUT it should not be used directly on a digital camera as it's trigger voltage will probably fry it.

They are good little shooters... I learned my lesson with Yashica's small lenses with the MF-1, I was not expecting much when bought it but it slapped me in the face with nice and sharp shots, right from the first field test, so I will never doubt again about those 38mm f/2.8 lenses.
