Either a 50mm or short zoom.

I'll have a look in the shop up here later this week to see if they have anything suitable. There are usually boxes of 5/10/15 pound lenses with different mounts to browse through. I've a 35-70 f3.5/4.8 Minolta zoom which came with the X300s if you are interested but it's plastic bodied and less positively reviewed than the earlier fixed focal length model.

Is this worth a punt?

Not really different from others you have TBH

I do like a good Yashica!

True, and the Yashinon is said to be a very good design.

I collected Sunday's pics today and this light leak is doing my head in. There's a contact print here. Enlarged, the leaks are easy to see.

The camera was taped up for the first 13 shots, then I took the tape off, which definitely made a difference, but not completely so light is getting in somewhere. Even on the early shots, there's fogging on the right hand side of the pic so there's still a leak though not as pronounced.
Again, I get the red streaks in pics 19/20/21 and then, like the previous film, the last 3 are clear
Any ideas on this one?

With the Yashica, thinking creatively if I don't drink alcohol between now and next Monday, the camera will cost me nothing. I'll sleep on that thought.

Pity it wasn't closer to me. Would have had that! Can you shine a very bright light onto the front of the camera and see what you can see? Would expected the leak to be orange though.
