Ahh.. what a beautifully made all manual SLR from Yashica. Everything made out of metal and glass, the Yashica FX-2 feels like a robust piece of machine. Heavy and - I dare to say - elegant, this is a quality offer from the early-mid seventies, a camera that was (IMO) just as good as its bigger sister's siblings (Contax) in the advanced consumer market of that time. Yashica sold a bucketful of these and the FX series continued with the FX-3, FX-3 super, FX-7, FX-8, FX-103 and FX-D. The FX line was the lower grade cameras while the FR was more aimed towards the enthusiastic amateurs. If you wanted more than that, then you had to consider the Contax line of cameras. But as i said, despite being a lower grade camera, this is a fantastic offer. Fit and finish is of high standards and the viewfinder is in par with other cameras of that era. It carries the Y/C lens mount which means that every Carl Zeiss lens from Contax could mount and work perfectly well with this cam...
