Description
The Yashica FX-70 Quartz, introduced around 1981, was an aperture-priority automatic exposure 35mm SLR using the C/Y mount. It was positioned as an electronic counterpart or successor to models like the FX-2. It featured quartz-controlled electronic timing for its shutter speeds and used LED indicators in the viewfinder for exposure information. It offered automation in a relatively compact and affordable package compared to the Contax models, appealing to amateurs seeking ease of use.
