Yashica FX-3 with original case and rare 50mm 1.7 lens
Works excellently
It is a fully mechanical 35mm film SLR camera, famous for its light weight (about 450 grams) and high durability since its release in the late 1970s. It features reliance on manual Contax/Yashica (C/Y) lenses, and operates entirely without batteries, as batteries are only used for light metering.
