You need to go a bit further back - mine's a Lynx 1000 and is manual only. There's a match-needle metering system, driven by a selenium cell (no battery, hence no battery hassles though I still use a handheld meter). The "1000" is for the max shutter speed - unusually high for a leaf shutter.

Lens is a 45mm f/1.8, and lowest timed shutter speed is 1s.
