My Yashica TL-E
Yashica TL-E

This the camera I'm using most right now.   It has about the same features as the TL except for an LED exposure meter readout instead of a match needle.   The shutter is a curtain type and goes to 1/500 second.   There is no mirror lockup on this model.

On my TL-E the underexposure LED is burnt out but I've been using it successfully by setting it to overexpose then backing down a stop.   The self-timer works but doesn't trigger the shutter at the end.   My girlfriend's been using my TL Electro-X for photo courses so I was glad to pick up this body for $25 on the Parts Camera page at Pacific Rim.   A good f/1.4 lens came with the Electro AX I bought from them so I've gotten a mostly good camera plus a dead body for my $50.   It's in about the condition I expected from their ad and I'm pleased with the purchase.   Most of the color photos in this site were taken with it, the rest with the TL Electro-X.

Batteries: The TL-E, like the TL Electro, most likely uses a pair of PX640 cells stacked, but see the PX640 note on the TL Electro page.

Any information you think should be here is welcome.   Please email me.
