Jes,
I have a Yashica FX-2 in full working order that I sell for 50 Euros + shipping.
It's not the top of technology - in fact, all the opposite, it's a real dinosaur Laughing it's a full manual camera. And when I say manual I mean REALLY manual - it does not even have AE mode.

The exposimeter works, but it requires the old Mallory PX625 mercury battery - but I know you are a magician of the DIY so you are probably able to figure out a way to replace it (if you use normal zinc batteries the exposimeter will not be accurate)

The good side of this very spartan camera, is that it's full metal, and never breaks (at least, it never broke for me).
My copy is also in very good looking condition.

Of course there are more advanced models available that might not even cost much more than this - so perhaps it could be a better deal for you to find something else - but in case you would like it, you know it's available - You don't even have to hurry, because I am not in big urge to sell it, since I confess that I really like it Smile But realistically, now that I have two contax cameras, the little yashica is not going to be much used anymore, so it's better if it finds more use at a new owner.

It's really annoying when that happens, even if the seller has covered their arse by saying 'as is'. They don't often go on to claim it's 'guaranteed working' as that numpty did.
Perhaps it was working ok when it was put away a few years ago.

Sorry for your troubles Jes. If you do not take a go with Orios camera try for an FR1. I really appreciate the offer on the ML zoom. I have been a bit slack on posting test shots lately and rarely use zooms for my regular works. Maybe you should offer the lens to a more active member or keep it for your own use. I don't think I deserve to take a lens that I can not show it's virtues Embarassed I have an FR1 I would be happy to send you. The camera works perfectly. It does have a bit of an issue with it's viewfinder. The prism has developed a bright spot on one side (separation?). My favorite of the FR series is the basic FR. It is completely manual (no AE or Tv exposure). The thing I love is the LED light meter indicator. It is very easy to see in all lighting situations unlike some match needle systems. A super solid camera with nice ergonomics. I believe the FX that Orio offers is very similar. Of course my favorite cameras from the yashica/contax era are the simple ones. The RTS II is my absolute favorite followed by the FX3 2000. The 1st is a more pro cam with AE and TTL flash control. The FX3 2000 is a lightweight full mechanical model with only the light meter requiring a battery. Both are in pretty strong demand and can bring a respectively solid price. Cool

Aha.. now I know who outbid me! lol

I think you'll find the lens is usual 'kit' Yashica zoom...

Doug...


I ended up with the consolation prize.. a Yashica FX-D SE.. Hmm lol

Bidding was so low that I could'nt stand and I did a bid for $10, ended at $9.48 Click here to see on Ebay .
It does include a working flash, a 42-75 lens (I don't know which brand) and a Tamrac carrying case. Not too bad for the price. I was curious to see the Planar 50/1.7 on a native mount....

Now waiting for arrival.
Jes.

Hi Doug, did I really outbid you?. I didn't know that, but anyway you're in good position to get the camera body for free Wink

I placed a single bid for $10, and I noticed I won when I received the notification email.... I thought the camera was too good to be so cheap!.

Hi.. It's quite OK.. I have FAR TOO MANY cameras already, and there are mutterings around here that any more and it will be them out or me! lol

I now have fourty-one 35mm film SLR cameras, a 126 Contaflex, nine 35mm rangefinders, two medium format Mamiyas, six 6x6 TLR's two 4x4 TLRs 3 digital SLR's and... 54 lenses.. you get the picture!

So it is best I didn't win and I'm glad someone on here did!

Doug.

Hi Jes Congrats!

The 42-75 was the "kit" zoom from that era for yashica slr's. The good news is it does have typical yashica build quality and ML coatings. The bad news you can deliver to us after giving a try. I had one in my hands but it had fungus so left it in the shop. I have never used it myself so do not know the IQ Wink


Hi Andy!

I received this morning the cam, that came with a nice Yashica flash, a Tamrac camera bag in very good shape and the lens.
The first thing I did was to buy fresh batteries and put them into the cam to exercise it. The first shock was seeing all the camera cover degraded (the same kind of gummy mess than the old seals), so touching it was an unpleasent experience. After putting the batteries, the cam stood as quiet and silent as before. Not good luck, the camera doesn't work.
When I got home I first tried the lens on the 350, late in the evening I could'nt tell if the blueish tone was due to the lack of light, so I remain waiting to do more tests.
It's a pity, I was full of expectations to have a C/Y mount camera to be the (film) backup for the 350D for the three C/Y lenses I got currently.

I do prefer people that do not say anything that the ones that tell things like: "...IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION GUARANTEE TO WORK BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED". The only true part of the sentence was the last one regarding the batteries Smile.

Anyway I didn't pay too much for it, so I don't feel bad, only I'm sorry for the time lost....

Andy, of course if you want to try the lens, it's yours. Smile

Now looking for another CY mount camera...
Any recommendations?.
Thanks in advance,
Jes.


I'm sorry Jes. Eventually, you didn't put the batteries wrongly ? I'm wondering, what could be the problem. Maybe the camera does not powers up, but why? Hmm...

Thanks for the clue, Cosmin. But I exhausted all the options. First I measured the batteries (to check the voltage is okay). Sometimes fresh batteries ended not being so fresh. In second place, the battery position is clearly stated in the battery cover. I even disassembled the body base to check that the wires that come from the battery and go inside the camera were carrying the proper voltage.
So in my opinion, is not a battery problem (unfortunately).

I have to find a service manual for the FX-70, to evaluate if it's worth or not to invest time in fixing it....

Jes.

If you open up the camera, try to fix the frame counter as well, it's usually broken (mine is). I found a tutorial a couple of days ago on how to repair it in other camera (FX-3 or FX-D i think), but it should be very similar on the FX-70 and it tells you how to disassemble the top of the camera. I don't remember the website and i can't find it in my bookmarks... all yashica-related repair links i have are these, maybe it can help you:

Thanks Cosmin and Naplam for the links!.

At the end I'll try to fix it. But first I need to get rid of the rubberish cover and this may take time...

For sure, I'll document it as usual...

Hi!

If you want a nice C/Y body I'd recommend the 137MA - it's the same as the MD except you can select a shutter speed, whereas the MD only allows aperture selection. I picked mine up with a really grim case of rotting leather covering, and within days camera leather (really great guy) had sold me a full replacement kit, and now the thing looks as if it was made yesterday. Even the seals were ok.. amazing value and same zoom as yours.. I managed to pick up a Contax Planar too pretty cheaply (49 bucks) so.. Smile

I was sorry to hear the camera's not so good.. maybe I was the lucky one not to win it after all? Hmm

Jes, if you're going ahead with the repair I found someone who does new leather covers for Yashicas by accident. Click here to see on Ebay Not exactly the same model but the same body.
