Our verdict

A body-only autofocus camera that the seller describes as used and working. The digital sensor and file entries in the listing do not fit a film camera, and lenses are sold separately.

Overview

Mounting Contax/Yashica lenses on this body is the way in, since it is sold body only. It is an autofocus SLR with a built-in flash and automatic and manual shooting modes.

Choose it as a working used body for a Contax/Yashica lens collection. The seller notes light signs of use and small scratches on the housing, and the sensor, RAW and USB entries cannot be right for a film SLR.

Who it's for

Film shooters who already own lenses for this mount suit a body-only purchase. Buyers expecting a digital sensor, a lens in the box or perfect cosmetics should look elsewhere.
