Yashica Minister II!
The Yashica Minister II is a 35mm rangefinder camera with a built-in selenium meter made in Japan by Yashica starting around 1962. It has a serial number prefixed with "II," and its meter cell is enclosed in the same frame as the camera's viewfinder and rangefinder windows.
The exposure controls are all around the lens. The rearmost ring on the 45mm f2.8 lens controls focus and has a lever attached. The next ring sets the aperture down to f16; the next ring sets the shutter speed between 1s and 1/500s (+B). The front ring carries a Light Value Scale for transferring the meter reading to the controls. A "cross-coupling ring" allows adjustment of the aperture and speed in step to maintain the value set on the LVS ring. There is a self-timer set by a lever underneath the lens barrel.
