Brethren,
I've never been much of an auto focus fan, much less a stickler for those ugly 1980s cameras, but as second-hand Yashica AFs are such cheapos these days, I got interested and I did actually find a couple of favorable reviews such as this one that make the small expense seem worthwhile:

However, knowing that the true Yashicanos are to be found here, I'd like to know if anybody of you can share any first-hand experience with the 230 AF. I'm especially interested in the quality of the AF lenses, of course, and how they compare with, say, the manual-focus ML range.
Adrian, I dimly remember that you were using such a camera once, is that correct?
Many thanks in advance for any helpful feedback,
Michael
