Hello,
I was not sure where to create this thread, I did a quick search and not able to find any comments about it. Even when there is a thread about "Non-Yashica/Contax SLR cameras with a Yashica/Contax mount", I do not think it would be the right place for this one:

When I saw the title, my reaction was: wait... How?
A very interesting analysis done by the writer of the blog. It seems that the 1/2000 shutter was already a re-work of the 1/1000, and the guys from Phenix re-worked it again to reach 1/4000... just like that.
The Nikon lens mount was a nice touch, which assume made things more interesting, solving the flange focal distance difference.

Made by Phenix in China using a Yashica FX-3 chassis, it has a Nikon lens mount and a top shutter speed of 1/4000 sec.
