Any opinion on using the zone system with lower end 35 mm cameras 
like Yashica? I bought one last summer for cheap access to the Contax 
Zeiss lens system (focusing on lens quality over mechanical 
perfection). And I always bracket. 

But I've already had some shutter reliability problems and have to 
send it in for repair. Should I just bite the bullet and get a Contax 
camera body? Other recommendations?

Thanks
