Default Yashica IC Lynx-14E -- Film?
Does anyone know anything about the 'Yashica IC Lynx-14E'?

What type of film should/can I buy to work with this camera?
I don't want to have to order it, rather buy it in-store






Thanks!

From a quick search: it's a rangefinder with an embedded light meter (the IC stands for integrated circuit). I think it takes 35mm film.

Just to confirm, Camerapedia says it takes 35mm film.

There's a little bit of service & restoration info here: Servicing Yashica Lynx 5000, 14e Range-finder Cameras

Definitely check the shutter mechanism and light seals, or budget for a CLA (cleaning, lubrication, adjustment).
