The first 35mm rangefinder camera in the Lynx series from Yashica, this 1960 model was still using a selenium meter. (Several years later, Yashica replaced the 1000 with the Lynx 5000 using a CdS-cell meter, as well as introducing the Lynx 14 variant, with its imposing f/1.4 lens.)

For a leaf-shutter camera, this model's top 1/1000 sec. speed was unusual and ambitious. (On the f/1.4 models, the larger glass aperture to uncover makes this impossible.)
