Last night I saw the following lot go over the ebay counter--for 29.05 euros! So that's two FX-103 Program, one in silver, one in black finish, plus a winder plus a data back plus a Yashica TTL flash unit plus an ML 1.7/50, plus manual all items working and in good condition, except that the black FX-107 won't fire. Amazing how underrated the Yashica brand is, at least in my country. But--alas!--I can't rescue them all... Michael

I did not know that there was a winder for the FX-103. I also have one in each color, unfortunately the meters are erratic (to put it mildly) on both of them.

Wow! Now that is a bargain! I've seen the FX Data Back on its own sell for that amount on the German Ebay site.
Interesting - I have Yashica (and Contax) as a permanent search on Ebay and I don't recall seeing that listing. The annoying thing is that even when you click on 'Europe' or 'Worldwide', only those sellers that have ticked the 'International' button when they list an item (and paid the extra charge) have a chance of being seen - and even then, not all of them appear. I end up having to enter each of the Ebay sites around the world if I'm on a serious quest - and then when you find the item, all too often the seller won't ship overseas! Go figure...
I fear that seller hit the classic problem on Ebay: listing as a job lot. All too often, a buyer is only after one or two of the items and can't be bothered to pay for the lot and then resell the stuff he doesn't want. I'll admit, I've picked up many an Ebay bargain that way. No doubt someone is a very happy bunny!

And the kit is yours now? Nope, Adrian. I'm not a collector, you see... But seriously--owning several FX-Ds and FX-3s/7s plus a 108MP, plus a 109MP, I don't see much sense in getting yet another three Yashicas of similar specifications. After all, I may be focusing on Yashica, yet I still need some space for all those other wonderful vintage cameras out there, such as Nikons, Zorkis, Kievs, Contaxes, Edixas, Ikontas, Ikoflexes and the like...

Okay, I thought that "The one with the most gear when he dies wins." I must admit I have four Yashicas Autofocus 38mm, but I stopped there. For now. best regards
