Yashica's mid-1980s budget C/Y SLR — the FX-3 Super 2000, mechanical 1/2000s shutter, TTL metering.

The Yashica FX-3 Super 2000 is a 35mm film SLR from the mid 1980s, the top version of the long-running FX-3 family and named for its faster top shutter speed. It kept the affordable, mechanically operated character of the earlier FX-3 bodies while using the Contax/Yashica (C/Y) bayonet, so it accepted Yashica ML lenses and Carl Zeiss T* optics and remained a common recommendation as a low-cost mechanical C/Y camera.

The FX-3 Super 2000 is a C/Y bayonet SLR for 35mm film with a mechanically timed focal-plane shutter that reaches a 1/2000s top speed, hence the model name; the shutter fires without a battery and the cell powers only the through-the-lens meter. Metering is centre-weighted TTL shown by LEDs in the viewfinder to guide manual exposure, which is set entirely by the photographer. The mechanical shutter distinguishes it from the electronic bodies in the C/Y range.

The FX-3 Super 2000 suits students, travellers and anyone wanting a light manual camera that still works with a dead battery, while the higher 1/2000s speed adds room to use faster films or wider apertures in bright light. It is simple and durable, and it offers an inexpensive way into the Zeiss and Yashica ML systems. There is no automatic exposure, which is the intended design.

On the used market the FX-3 Super 2000 is a desirable budget C/Y body, so condition matters. Foam light seals and mirror-damper foam usually need replacing. Test the mechanical shutter through all speeds including the top 1/2000s, and note the body fires with a flat battery. Confirm the LED meter responds with a fresh cell, check the prism for haze or desilvering, and verify the film advance, rewind and bayonet lock operate smoothly.
