The FX-A Quartz is a 35mm SLR from Yashica. It was first introduced at Photokina in 1982, a year before being acquired by Kyocera. It was positioned as the flagship model of the FX series, supporting both automatic and manual exposure. A unusually small volume of cameras were manufactured (often thought to be 1000, 1,400 or 3,000 made) and was not available in the Japanese market. A few years later Kyocera introduced the Yashica FX-103 Program which has many of the same feature of the FX-A.
The FX-A uses interchangeable lenses with the C/Y mount. It has an electronic quartz timed, vertical travelling metal focal-plane shutter with speeds from 1/1000 to 1 in manual exposure and up to 11 sec in auto. It has a bulb mode and flash sync is at 1/100 a sec. The finder has a 95% field of view with magnification 0.86. Fill speed settings are manually set with a range of ISO 25 to 1600 ISO. It weighs approx 470g.
