The included 50mm f1.9 Yashica lens is sharp and smooth to focus. The FX-D shares designs elements with and is a very similar camera to the better-known Contax 139.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis camera offers both aperture-priority automatic exposure and metered manual exposure modes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FX-D requires two 357 batteries (available as an add-on). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe camera and lens were tested with film and it delivered sharp, correctly exposed photos.
