The Yashica FX-3 (1979) and **FX-3 Super 2000** (1986) are budget mechanical SLRs in the Contax/Yashica (C/Y) lens mount. Mechanical horizontal-cloth shutter — the Super 2000 variant added 1/2000s top speed (vs FX-3's 1/1000s). TTL center-weighted SPD metering. Polycarbonate-on-aluminum body, 460 g. Same C/Y mount as Contax bodies — meaning Yashica FX-3 owners can mount **Carl Zeiss Planar, Distagon, Sonnar** lenses at a fraction of Contax body prices.
