Introductory Paragraph The Yashica FX-3 Super 2000 paired with the Yashica DSB 50mm f/1.9 is a legendary, ultra-compact 35mm film SLR kit built around the highly esteemed Contax/Yashica (C/Y) lens mount system. This robust pairing is a favorite among students and professionals for its fully mechanical, battery-independent design and expanded 1/2000s shutter speed. The included Yashica DSB 50mm f/1.9 standard prime lens delivers excellent contrast, high central sharpness, and a bright maximum aperture perfect for low-light street photography and portraits. It is a reliable, high-performance Yashica tool that provides access to world-class optics in a portable package.

Key Features

• Universal Contax/Yashica (C/Y) lens mount, unlocking compatibility with legendary Yashica ML glass and premium Carl Zeiss T* lenses.

• Fast Yashica DSB 50mm f/1.9 prime lens, providing high optical sharpness, rich color contrast, and smooth background bokeh.

• Upgraded 1/2000s mechanical focal-plane shutter, allowing action-freezing capabilities and wide-aperture shooting in bright daylight.

• Fully mechanical shutter operation, firing reliably without battery power across all speeds from 1s down to 1/2000s.

• Simple 3-LED viewfinder exposure metering, using clear "+", "o", and "-" indicators for effortless manual exposure control.

• Lightweight, ultra-compact body chassis ergonomics, making it one of the most portable and easily pocketable 35mm SLRs.

• Built-in contoured plastic front finger grip, ensuring stable, secure handheld composition during street walks.

Condition Report Good condition. Body: Shows normal signs of light use, with minor cosmetic surface scuffs on the plastic top covers and standard light wear on the baseplate. The leatherette wrap is fully intact and secure, and the film chamber is clean with good light seals. Sensor/Optics: Viewfinder, mirror, and focusing screen are bright and clear. The attached 50mm lens elements are clean and free from internal fungus, heavy haze, separation, or deep glass scratches; standard minimal micro-dust is visible under close light inspection but does not alter performance. Mechanics/Electronics: Fully operational. The mechanical shutter fires accurately across all speeds up to 1/2000s, the film advance stroke is smooth, and the 3-LED exposure meter responds instantly to changing light.

Specialist Note "The Yashica FX-3 Super 2000 is widely celebrated as the ultimate mechanical student camera, and for good reason—it is virtually indestructible and incredibly lightweight. What makes this 'Super 2000' version so desirable is that extra stop of mechanical shutter speed, letting you handle bright sun or fast film far better than standard vintage SLRs. The included 50mm f/1.9 DSB lens is a hidden gem that renders beautiful, classic colors with an organic vintage look. Best of all, because this body uses the premium C/Y mount, it serves as the most affordable and reliable way to shoot legendary Carl Zeiss glass down the road. It is a completely honest, transparent tool that lets nothing stand between you and your craft."
