Yashica offered this version of the original 1960 Yashica Minister, but equipped with a faster, 4.5 cm f/1.9 lens. It includes an uncoupled selenium meter which reads out in EV numbers; the number is manually transferred to the cross-coupled aperture and shutter speed rings on the lens barrel. The top shutter speed is 1/500th second.
There was also an M-II variant which offered a 4.5cm f/2.8 lens and a 1/1000th second top shutter speed.
