Yashica FX-D 35mm film SLR + 50mm f1.9 lens (serial 253099)

The Yashica FX-D is a sophisticated 35mm film SLR from the early 1980s that's compatible with the excellent range of Contax/Yashica mount lenses (including many amazing old Carl Zeiss lenses). The included 50mm f1.9 Yashica lens is sharp and smooth to focus. The FX-D shares designs elements with and is a very similar camera to the better-known Contax 139.

This camera offers both aperture-priority automatic exposure and metered manual exposure modes.

The FX-D requires two 357 batteries (available as an add-on). 

Condition notes
The camera and lens were tested with film and it delivered sharp, correctly exposed photos. In addition, the camera was tested with a shutter speed analyzer and all speeds are verified to be working well. The camera and lens are in very good cosmetic condition as well (see photos) with a tiny black speck in the viewfinder (doesn't affect photos) being the most noteworthy flaw. 

We replaced the camera's worn off vinyl with high quality Japanese-made leatherette; it was cut by hand so there are some small imperfections in the installation (see photos).
