Yashica FX-3 with 50mm f/2 Yashica ML | S/N: 632276

Yashica FX-3 50mm f/2 Yashica ML - Good Condition | The Mechanical Purist’s Entry into C/Y Optics

Introductory Paragraph The Yashica FX-3 is the definitive choice for the enthusiast who values a lightweight, fully mechanical SLR that offers a gateway to some of the world’s finest optics. Celebrated for its simple, rugged reliability, this camera features a metal focal-plane shutter that operates entirely without batteries, ensuring you can keep shooting even in the most demanding environments. This unit (S/N: 632276) is paired with the Yashica ML 50mm f/2 (S/N: a90420523), a lens highly regarded for its multi-coating and sharp rendering, sharing the same Contax/Yashica (C/Y) mount as legendary Zeiss glass. Because it provides a pure, manual photographic experience, it serves as an incredibly capable tool for students and analog purists alike. Whether you are documenting daily life or building a high-end lens kit, this Yashica provides the mechanical honesty and optical potential that have made the FX-series a staple of the film era.

Key Features

  • Reliable fully mechanical shutter offering speeds from 1s to 1/1000s plus Bulb.

  • High-quality Yashica ML 50mm f/2 lens known for excellent color balance and resolution.

  • Versatile Contax/Yashica (C/Y) mount, allowing compatibility with prestigious Carl Zeiss T* lenses.

  • Bright viewfinder with a split-image/microprism focusing screen for precise manual control.

  • Simple and accurate three-LED exposure display for intuitive metering.

  • Remarkably lightweight and compact body design, ideal for street and travel photography.

  • Battery-independent operation (batteries are only required for the light meter).

Condition Report Good condition. Body: The Yashica camera body (S/N: 632276) shows normal signs of use. Note:The original leatherette covering is partially broken or peeling, which is common for this model; however, the metal chassis remains robust. Sensor/Optics: The 50mm f/2 ML lens is optically clear; free from fungus or haze. Note: There is a small dent on the front filter ring of the lens, but this does not affect the glass or the image quality. Mechanics/Electronics: The mechanical shutter fires accurately at all speeds. The film advance is smooth and the light meter is responsive.

Specialist Note "The FX-3 is a masterpiece of functional simplicity. What I love about this model is that it doesn't try to be fancy—it just works. It’s a rugged, honest piece of Japanese engineering that is surprisingly light in the hand. The ML series lenses are often called 'the poor man’s Zeiss' because their multi-coating is so effective at handling flare and producing punchy contrast. Even with the typical leatherette wear, this is a fantastic user-camera that will likely outlast most electronic SLRs. For anyone looking for a reliable, all-mechanical platform to explore the world of C/Y optics, this Yashica is a top-tier choice."
