Yashica FX-D SE
Yashica FX-D SE Chrome / Red smooth
This particular camera is a scarce "Special Edition" of a popular Yashica FX-D compact film SLR, and comes with a rare fast version of ML 50mm prime! Arguably the best camera in Yashica FX series, sharing many features with Contax 139. Very ergonomic, light and easy-to-carry, with aperture-priority shooting, full range of manual shutter speeds, exposure lock and self-timer. Like other FX- series Yashicas, this camera is equipped with a robust metal-leaf quartz-controlled Copal shutter and C/Y lens mount, which allows it to be used with a wide range of Carl Zeiss, Contax and other excellent lenses. Seriously under-rated film SLR, made-in-Japan quality. New custom red leather cover makes this peach of a camera, very beautiful.
