The Lynx 5000 is the less-renowned sister to the Yashica Lynx 14, lacking that model's massive f/1.4 lens. For those willing to sacrifice half a stop of lens speed to get a smaller package, Yashica offered a Yashinon 4.5 cm f/1.8 lens instead. (One reflection of the size difference is the Lynx 5000's 46mm filter thread, as compared to 58mm on the '14' versions.)
The Lynx 5000 was followed by the very similar Yashica Lynx 5000E, adding a revised "IC" meter circuit.
