Yashica TL Electro on the Meramec River

I purchased this camera at the Belleville Flea Market, then spent some time cleaning it up and puting in new foam seals and mirror bumper.
Camera dates to about 1972. Shutter curtains are cloth, and lens mount is universal m42 screwmount.
To test it out, on Wednesday I visited the Meramec River bed at Valley Park. Film was Fuji 200, and sky was somewhat overcast to deliver a bright milky light.
River was still down despite recent rains, and I was able to easily walk out onto the island without getting wet.
I did like how the camera handled, and the LED stop down metering system worked out well.
