Hi, i recently bought a Yashica FX-3 super 2000 from ebay, and so far it's been great. What the camera is missing is an eyecup. Does anyone know if the Eyecup F-3 will fit my FX-3?
Thanks

The FX/FR series - and most of the SLR lines from Yashica and even some early Contax models - can all accept an eyecup with a metal rectangular slip-on frame that is 19mm wide at the attachment slot. The early ones may not have a number stamped on them, but any you'd find that are made by and branded as 'Yashica' should fit. There are 3rd party makers as well, and other major camera makers may have some in matching sizes, so long as they meet the 19mm requirement.
An F-3 cup may fit kinda okay, but I've lost a few as they tend to slip off too easily since they won't lock onto the height of the slot very well. These days they are hard to find and can get rather pricey if one goes missing.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply!. I managed to find a yashica metal eyecup for my yashica FX-3 and it fits perfectly, i didn't pay too much. Just about 3$ in Buenos Aires. thanks for the feedback!
