Latest version of the venerable Yashica FX-3. One of the most basic film SLR's you can buy, this camera is full-proof. Full set of manual shutter speeds, +/- LED meter indicator - that's it. This camera has a robust metal leaf mechanical shutter and will shoot without batteries (only needed for meter operation). This particular version of FX-3 is known for a good quality leatherette, unlike earlier versions of this camera. As all Yashica film cameras of the period, it is equipped with C/Y lens mount, which allows it to be used with used with a vast range of high quality Carl Zeiss, Yashica and third party lenses. Great little beginner's camera, a bargain.

COSMETICS

Very clean, minor scuffs on the bottom, consistent with normal use and the age of the camera. Couple of small areas of paint loss on the film door - please see photos. Focusing screen and viewfinder and bright and clear of dust. Original leatherette is in excellent condition.
