<p>Hi I am thinking about getting a Yashica 124G as my first medium format camera.<br> I have read that the battery is discontinued and there is alternatives/workarounds for it.<br> But my question is, is the shutter electronic or mechanic?<br> In other words, can I use Yashica Mat 124g without battery while I use an hand-held light meter for the correct exposure? I want to save the trouble of buying batteries if the batteries are really giving power to the meter.<br> I researched online and nobody seems to have brought up a similar question like this.<br> <br />Thanks in advance.</p>
