Yashica FX-D is arguably the best compact SLR in Yashica FX series, sharing many features with Contax 139. Very ergonomic, light and easy-to-carry camera, with aperture-priority shooting, full range of manual shutter speeds, exposure lock and self-timer. Like other FX- series Yashicas, this SLR is equipped with a robust metal-leaf quartz-controlled Copal shutter and C/Y lens mount, which allows it to be used with used with a wide range of high quality Carl Zeiss, Yashica and third party lenses. Seriously under-rated camera, made in Japan.

 

FUNCTION

Shutter, meter, film transport, timer all work properly. Brand new seals and mirror guard installed for years of trouble-free operation.
 

COSMETICS

Very good. Minor brassing and small scratches throughout, consistent with normal use and age (see photos). Bright and clean lettering on the dials. Focusing screen and viewfinder are bright, with just a couple of tiny specs of dust (no effect on function). Original leatherette was replaced with brand new Maroon-colored leatherette.
