I have the FR and the FR1 and both are built very solid.
Some may find them too big or too heavy - mechanically they're of top-quality !
Someone said, they're built like the first Contax RTS - but you can get them much cheaper !
If they had a mechanical shutter I'd love them even more. This is the only thing I worry about : Electronic shutter with the need of batteries.
What I like with the FR (no AE) :
You can see everything in the viewfinder for chosen time and apperture are permanent shown mechanically.
Both cameras now need some helping hand : Light comes in from the back side and I need to replace the stripes myself because otherwise it's too expensive at Yashica....
Hope to get some advise for that... !
