根據Yashica 的手動相機歷史來看,這是Yashica的前期手動機Yashica FX-3的孿生兄弟。差別在Yashica FX-3 只有黑色塗裝,而Yashica FX-7則有銀色塗裝,其他別就在上蓋的部分而已。兩者都由Cosina代工。
Yashica FX-3從1979年就由Yashica 所發表,直到1983年Kyocera接收Yashica 這個品牌之後,又發表了Yashica FX-3 super並且在機身上做了幾個變化。
其一增設了還有小手把,以利握持,其二增加閃光燈充電完成指示燈,其三則是將測光表按鈕與快門按鈕整合為一,這也是大多數相機的操作方式。後來的Yashica FX-3 super2000也只將快門速度從1000改為2000而已,其他都沒變。
前陣子Cosina發表了一部與Yashica FX-3 super2000相似的機身,其實也可以當做是Yashica FX-3 super2000改掛Cosina品牌復活而已。
這個有點年紀的產品,至少是1984年以前出生的。原主人已經換上新的覆皮,可能是從前的已經脫落,而賣家已不知是第幾任二手者。
塑料的機身雖然不及金屬堅固,但是小心使用不受到劇烈碰撞的話,應該耐用度都不差的。而且,構造簡單,不容易故障。
目前在台灣的雅虎或是露天拍賣比較常見的反倒是Yashica FX-2,這個機身比較重,也比較老舊,當年是買不起Contax機身者的替代選擇。現今的Contax139二手價已經掉到4000元之譜,若不是對機械機身有特別的堅持,購買Contax的機身其實應當更好才對。
當然,Contax幾乎都是電子快門機身,除了S2和S2b兩部機械機身,不過這兩部評價並不好,大約都是對其耐用度質疑,內部使用零件的塑料,是其令人憂心之處。
