The Yashica Partner is a cheap 35mm viewfinder camera made by Yashica in Japan and dating back to the 80's. It has an f/4 lens with fixed focus and a single shutter speed which was determined to be around 1/36 sec.

It also has a builtin flash driven by two AA batteries which can be activated and pre-charged by a switch on the back. A selector on the barrel lets you choose two different film speeds to play with, 400 and 100, thus affecting the light meter reading.

A gear on the lens controls aperture, ranging from f/4 down to f/16 approximately. The very same gear also controls the flash range, when in flash mode.
