| Dbrain's Full Review: Kyocera FX-3 Super 2000 Film Camera |
This is the second Yashica FX-3 super 2000 I have owned.The first one fell in a frozen lake in the Catskill mountains in upstate New York.This camera is so affordable,that it enables Pro's and amateurs a like to really get the job done right at a minimal cost,and without the worry that you will drop a fortune into a frozen lake trying to photograph some Blue Jays in there nest from a flimsy branch.It has a light weight body that helps with the hand fatigue that is common with a heavy telephoto lens.Yet it is well put together and durable at the same time.It is also quite a good looking camera body,sold in silver or all black body.The metering is center weighted and very accurate.The simplicity of its + and - symbology in the metering display make for very easy use by anyone.It has all metal vertical shutters that enable it to shoot at up to 1/2000 of a second speed.This is quite unheard of at this price range!The biggest plus is that it uses Contax bayonet mount,so you can even use Carl Zeiss lenses on your FX-3!!!!!WOW!!!!!!!!
