<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>
