I had read a lot of positive comments on the EZ-matic back in the late 1960s but never tried it. With the demise of 126 film, that seemed an end to the matter but now that a 35mm adapter is available, it might just be possible. The adapter does not work with all 126 cameras but it's worth checking it out with this little gem.
With the option of Auto and aperture priority exposure, a self-timer and flash sync-socket with cold shoe, this is quite a performer on paper. And the reviews heaped praise on the unusual 37mm f2.7 lens.
The build quality is superb but all that metal means that, for a small camera, it is pretty heavy at over 17 ounces (500g).
Oh yes, and it's good to have another of Yashica's flash-cube units; a nice bonus.
