Sharing much of its internal design, electronics, and philosophy with its Contax sibling, the FX-D delivers the same precision and reliability in a slightly more understated body — making it a smart and affordable choice for photographers who value both craftsmanship and usability. Compact, beautifully built, and loaded with practical features, the FX-D offers aperture-priority auto exposure , full manual control, and a bright, crisp viewfinder. It feels solid, quiet, and confident — a truly capable 35mm camera that’s as rewarding to use as it is to admire. This set includes the highly regarded Yashica ML 50mm f/1.7 lens and an FX Winder , both working perfectly and tested with film. ⚙️ Condition & Function • Camera in excellent working condition , cleaned and serviced. • New light seals , new mirror damper , and new leatherette installed. • Light meter and shutter speeds are accurate across all settings. • New batteries installed — ready to shoot. • Some patina and small cosmetic marks from age and use, but overall very clean and well preserved. • Viewfinder bright and clean , focusing screen clear and accurate. • Film tested with Fomapan 200 — exposures came out perfectly balanced, sharp, and contrasty. Lens condition: • Yashica ML 50mm f/1.7 — clean, clear, no haze, fungus, or scratches. • Smooth focusing and aperture rings, precise and responsive. • A crisp, contrasty lens often compared to the Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm f/1.7 from Contax — both share similar optical design principles and rendering characteristics, producing sharp images with beautiful microcontrast and gentle fall-off. • Minimal internal dust, purely cosmetic and normal for its age. Winder condition: • Yashica FX Winder fully functional and tested. • Cleaned, fitted with new leatherette and new batteries installed . • Smooth and reliable film advance, perfectly matched to the camera. Accessories: • New unbranded strap installed. 📐 Technical Specifications Film Format: 35mm (standard 135 cartridge) Lens Mount: Contax/Yashica (C/Y mount) Shutter Speeds: 1s – 1/1000s + Bulb (quartz-timed electronic control) Exposure Modes: Aperture Priority AE, Manual Light Meter: TTL center-weighted, LED readout Viewfinder: 0.87× magnification, 95% coverage Film Advance: Manual lever or automatic (with included winder) Film Rewind: Manual crank Flash Sync: 1/100s (hot shoe + PC socket) Power: 2x SR44/LR44 (new batteries installed) Self-Timer: Electronic with LED indicator Tripod Mount: 1/4" standard 🎞️ Film-Tested & Ready to Shoot Tested with Fomapan 200 , this kit delivered excellent, evenly exposed, and sharp negatives — proof of its mechanical precision and optical quality. 🌟 Why You’ll Love It • Built under the Yashica–Contax collaboration — same family as the Contax 139 Quartz. • Elegant, compact design with quartz-timed reliability. • Smooth shutter, intuitive controls, and a bright viewfinder. • The ML 50mm f/1.7 lens delivers Zeiss-like sharpness and contrast. • Complete set — body, lens, winder, and strap — fully tested and ready to use. • A superb, underrated classic that performs like a Contax at a fraction of the price. 📦 What’s Included • Yashica FX-D Quartz body (serviced, new seals, new leatherette, new batteries) • Yashica ML 50mm f/1.7 lens • Yashica FX Winder (serviced, new leatherette, new batteries) • New unbranded strap 🚚 Professionally packed and shipped with care.

I’m very happy with my new (to me) camera! Delivery was quick and the packaging was incredibly secure! Camera was as described and very reasonably priced! Seller communicated great when I had a couple concerns but they helped me to resolve my issue, which was my fault for loading the film wrong! (Oops) Will definitely use this store again!
Absolutely outstanding seller! The item arrived exactly as described — even better than I expected. Packaging was careful and secure, dispatch was quick, and communication throughout the process was friendly and professional. Great value, honest descriptions, and real attention to detail. Highly recommended — would happily buy again!
Absolutely brilliant seller, very good value, well packaged and described item . An unforseen problem arose ,(no fault of the seller) , and was quickly resolved, more than to my satisfaction! All that attracted me to this site was delivered, and I shall certainly use them again. Plus, what a lovely camera! 😍
