I didn't shoot much at all for about 16 years. Then I decided to dig out my Auto-S3 and do some shooting. Well, I looked for about 2 weeks, said to hell with it, and bought a Popular Photography to find a new RF. Whoah!! Only two 35mm RF's listed...the Leica and the Contax. Since it was an impulse buy, I bought the Contax G2 system only to find out that it is a P&S and not an RF. Grrrrrr!!!!! Then, within a month, the RF market opens up with the launching of the Bessa R and the Hexar RF. About 20 RFs later, I still want a replacement for the Auto S3 (I've never found it and think it might have been lifted by the termite inspector). I got a Yashica RF on ebay (broken), a Rollei RF on ebay (broken), and a Konica III on ebay (works, but is really, really heavy). But at $600, I'm not getting a Yasuhara. By the way, does it have an exposure meter?
