Description from the seller
This Yashica FX-3 camera, paired with a Yashica ML 50mm/F2 lens, is in excellent condition and has been thoroughly tested.
Both the body and the lens are very light and therefore easy to carry. Many users even store them in their pocket without a lens cap, as they prize convenience.
Purely mechanical body: The FX-3 features a purely mechanical shutter that allows normal photography even without a battery. The only drawback: the light metering is momentarily unavailable, but this does not affect operation in emergencies.
High-quality lens: The ML 50mm f/2 lens delivers good sharpness in the image center even at wide aperture and produces natural colors, soft skin tones in portraits, and a unique swirl focus effect that has earned it the nickname “the Zeiss for everyone.”
High compatibility: This lens uses a C/Y mount and is therefore easily compatible with mirrorless cameras via an adapter, such as Sony E-mount. It offers excellent value for money.
Easily repairable synthetic leather: This is a common issue with the FX-3, but it does not affect usability; simply reattach the synthetic leather.
The exposure metering indicators in the viewfinder are intuitive: After switching on, a green dot appears on the right side of the viewfinder (correct exposure), a red plus sign (+) (overexposed), and a red minus sign (-) (underexposed). This is especially user-friendly for beginners. Please note that these are used items and may show signs of wear. Details can be found in the product pictures.
