thanks again for the replies.
Avoid Yashica Electro 35 GS/T/N unless you're prepared to send it off to a specialist for repair, they are terribly unreliable at the age they are and notoriously difficult (that's code for expensive) to fix. Also avoid Olympus 35 RC and RD models, they will inevitably have oil on the shutter blades and require a major strip down which is far from cheap. I'd recommend Canonet QL17 (currently in vogue, so prices are a bit inflated at the moment), or the QL19 which is not far behind in capability but massively cheaper.
