Yeah this does seem like a very good choice. A very simple full manual, small SLR with a metal shutter, good build, and underrated leading to low prices. Solid choice.
I had forgotten about using my mom’s old Canon 35mm at a park as a kid until you talked about your experience. Not a very giving place in terms of opportunity, but I learned a lot more because of it. Thanks for the nostalgia.
Hi there! Read your comment and was wondering what exact adaptor does one search for, for a Helios M42 lens? I'm a newbie, so bit clueless. Any help would be immensely appreciated! :)
Yashica fx3 súper user here Really nice camera What can help get more options is more lens, I have a 135mm and a 35-105 zoom lens, really helpful, and if you got a nd filter and a wire shooter you can get really nice long exposure photos
One thing to think about for a first film camera is what digital gear you may have. I have a lot of Nikon digital cameras and lenses, so a Nikon film body made sense. I started with a Nikon FM so I could use some of my lenses (non G lenses). Great channel. Subbed for more content.
That’s a great perspective too! I started with film but I think if I started with digital I would be taking equipment compatibility into account! The Nikon FM is a great camera!
Thanks for the video! Of course, Yashica FX3 Super 2000 is not the best vintage film camera, there are many awesome competitors. But you are right - the most important thing is to start thinking, and film cameras, except for fully automatic ones, indeed make the photographer think and thus become involved in the art of photography. As for the cameras, there is big danger one cannot stop buying them once the first camera is bought. I was first with Canon, then got almost all Olympus OM models, then there was Nikon, Praktica, Zenit, Pentax, and now I am looking in the direction of Minolta. The positive thing about this area is that previously very expensive models one could not be even dreaming of when they were sold new are now available for affordable prices. So, why not make the dreams come true, although with some delay.
I have same camera, with Kodak gold 400 I don’t understand how to shot the sunset, they come out with white sky, not with proper orange colors, any suggestion? Is the camera not good enough? Should I get a better one? Thank you
What mount are the lenses of the fx3 super 2000? I have the 28-105 f3.5 on it which im planning to adapt to my sony a7iii for video.I dont know th mount.Can anyone help?

Great job! Cheers from Brazil!
This is great man! Looking forward to seeing more come from your channel.

found one of these on a school flea market for $10 bucks! :) and it was in a mint condition too!
Works without electronics, mounts C/Y lenses including Contax Zeiss, M42 lenses easily adapted. A brilliant film camera.
I know right! Super simple camera, and Contax Zeiss lenses make a sweet collection.

@@chronicfish Hi. Search for CY M42 adapter. These screw onto the M42 lens that can then be fitted to CY mount cameras.
been using this for years!!! with Tokina Lens 28mm f2.8, one of the best 35mm slr film camera indeed
Great stuff. Love this camera. Have it paired with a Zeiss Distagon T* 35mm f/2.8. Simple and solid.
Este es el video que estaba esperando, muchas gracias!
I just thrifted one of these with 3 lenses for 40$. It looks brand new. Im about half way through a roll at the moment. We will see how it turns out.

Absolutely! Playing with focal lengths and filtration helps with creative growth. It’s all about exploration.
Bought one for $25 with lens. It broke after a year. Immediately bought another from japan. I absolutely love it. Its my camera.
