I am no expert, but I did have a 28 thru here on its trip round the world in a 'Pass the Rangefinder' project.
Mercury cells are a problem so I recallibrated it for a silver cell.
That camera is out there somewhere! :-)

you want disscusing about canonet 28?
Basicly, It is a full AE camera.But something limited.
1)If shutter speed lower than 1/30s .Itwill do not work otherwise using the flash.
2)The lens aperture ring, but the value addition to A , the aperture value, shutter with the other will be locked at 1 / 30 seconds - basically this is only useful when connecting external flash . If you use the same factory Canolite D -type flash , aperture set A can be long .
