The '''[[Yashica]] FR1''' was an electronically-controlled SLR camera, first introduced in 1977.  Based on the earlier [[Contax RTS]] and Yashica [[FR]], the FR1 combined some of the best attributes of those cameras.  Equipped with the C/Y common bayonet mount, the FR1 could accept a variety of [[Yashica / Contax lenses]] and was targeted at serious amateur and professional photographers who did not need the added features of the more expensive Contax RTS.  It had an electronically-controlled shutter with speeds from 1 sec. to 1/1000 (plus B), two exposure modes - manual and aperture priority - as well as DOF preview, self-timer, and full exposure information visible in the viewfinder.  Production ended in late 1981.
