| − | The Yashica FX-D is " The little sister" of Contax 139 Quartz. Still, some people consider Contax to have a more solid feel. Probably because 139Q has TTL flash, and DOF preview, aperture readout in the viewfinder among other differences. It has the same rather small housing, similar features and a Contax/Yashica bayonet. The FX-D is well suited as second body for Contax users since the controls are placed in Contax-like positions on the body. In particular you find the meter control button on the front side. | + | The Yashica FX-D is " The little sister" of Contax 139 Quartz. Still, some people consider Contax to have a more solid feel.

| − | | |
| − | SPECIFICATIONS Type: 35 mm single-lens reflex camera.
| |
| − | (The camera is: A Yashica that uses 35mm film and a single mirror)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Country of Origin: Japan.
| |
| − | (where does it come from: It came from Japan)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Year of Introduction: 1980.
| |
| − | (When did it become the camera we know: 1980)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Image size: 24 x 36 mm.
| |
| − | (what is the size of the images produced by Yashica Fx-d: 0,24 x 0,36 cm)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Lens mount: C/Y bayonet.
| |
| − | (what kind of lenses can I use with this camera: any C/Y bayonet (am I allowed to use this name?) lenses
| |
| − | | |
| − | Shutter: Electronically controlled vertical-running, all-metal focal plane shutter.
| |
| − | (What is the mechanism of the curtain [the click-click mechanism]: it runs in the up-down direction, it is located in the focal plane, and it is eletronic)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Shutter speeds: Quartz-timed electronically-controlled shutter with speeds semi-continuously variable on AUTO from 1/1000 to 1 second, with AE lock. Manual shutter speeds from 1/1000sec. to 1sec. , plus X (1/100sec.) and "B" Synchro contact: X contact (1/100sec. ). Shutter is electronically controlled, therefore, no battery, no pictures.
| |
| − | (is it fast:oh yes! it is controlled by a quartz(tm?) mechanism and can shoot from 1000 milliseconds to 1 miliseconds, and the velocity it synchronizes with the flash is 100 milisseconds. Ah, and you also have the bulb function to shoot in whatever speed it pleases you. but be careful, if you run out o batery you cannot take pictures, it is an eletronic-controlled shutter)
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Auto flash control: When used with CS-201 Auto Flash Unit, shutter speed automatically set at 1/100sec. upon full charging of the flash unit. No TTL flash.
| |
| − | (what about that shiny stuff we plug on the top part of the camera: it is controlled automatically if you plug some kinds of yashica automatic flash (not only CS-201 if you want copyright, give right information will you?) sych at 100 milisseconds. it is not possible to have a flash that works based on the light information received through the lens [i won't use TTL label for it, it's copyrighted ¬¬)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Self-timer: Quartz-timed electronic self-timer with 10sec. delay. LED flashes and audible warning device sounds during operation, simultaneously accelerating 2 sec. before shutter release. No mirror prefire.
| |
| − | (and waht if i want to apear in the pic: you can set up a timer that takes 100000 milliseconds to "fire", there is some kind of "rudolph-nose-blinking-mechanism" to entertain the portraited people. Besides that we hear a beep beep.
| |
| − | | |
| − | DOF Preview: No.
| |
| − | (may i check if my professional photographing knowledge in controling the DoF instinct is right: no. (is the word no copyrighted?)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Shutter release: Electromagnetic release system; auxiliary remote release via "Release socket".
| |
| − | (how is the click-click mechanism controled: it uses magnets and eletricity. you also have a strange hole to make the contact.)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Exposure control: Through-the-lens (TTL), center-weighted metering at full aperture using SPD (Silicon Photo Diode) cell. Aperture-preferred automatic exposure (LED matching type on Manual). EV 1 to EV 18 sensitivity range at ASA 100 with f/1.4 lens. ASA range 25-1600.
| |
| − | (photo = light, is the camera smart to perceive light...)
| |
| − | :
| |
| − | | |
| − | Exposure check button: Pressing button activates LED indicators for 10sec.
| |
| − | AE lock: Setting AE lock lever locks in shutter speed in effect at time of setting.
| |
| − | Exposure compensation: + 2 EV (Doubles as film speed dial).
| |
| − | Viewfinder: Fixed eye-level pentaprism type; FOV: 95%, 0.86x magnification (with 50 mm lens).
| |
| − | Focusing screen: Horizontal split-image spot, surrounded by a microprism collar and an outer matte field.
| |
| − | Viewfinder display: Shutter speeds indicated by 16-indicator LEDs (correct exposure on AUTO; exposure selected on Manuals; over- and under-exposure indications; special mark shows when flash is fully charged; battery check warning. No aperture display.
| |
| − | Film advance: With rapid advance lever; 130° setting angle; 20° standoff position.
| |
| − | Winder: Accepts FX Winder or Contax 139 Winder II.
| |
| − | Film rewind: Film rewind crank and film rewind release button (automatic resetting type).
| |
| − | Exposure counter: Automatic resetting type.
| |
| − | Accessory shoe: Direct X contact, and terminal for coupling CS-201 Auto Flash Unit. No TTL flash.
| |
| − | Camera back: Opens by lifting film rewind knob; with memo holder.
| |
| − | Power source: Two 1.5 V silver-oxide batteries (Eveready S76, Ucar S76, Mallory MS-76 or equivalent); or alkaline-manganese batteries (LR44 or equivalent).
| |
| − | Battery check: Indicated via lighting or flashing of LEDs inside the viewfinder.
| |
| − | Dimensions: 135 x 86 x 50 mm.
| |
| − | Weight: 460 grams with batteries.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Although the owner of the website says the content s/he puclishes is copyrighted, i have to disagree with him/her, because anyone who has access to the camera and the manual can measure it, weigh it, and help other yashica users to know more about their own cameras. It's a pity People like this poor webmaster, who wants to copyright the reality. the touchable.
| |
| − | Anyway, if the person who hided the previous posted information about it wants, we can all rewrite based on our own tags for each specification, so that other users can rewrite it as the pattern of the website.
