This camera is used, untested & being sold as is, but it should work fine. It includes a Canon 1984 Olympic lens cap. No case or strap, just the camera! It weighs 2 lbs. & measures 5.5" x 4" x 4".The Yashica FR1 was an electronically-controlled 35mm film SLR camera made by Yashica and produced between 1977_81.Based on the earlier Contax RTS and Yashica FR , the FR1 combined some of the best attributes of those cameras. Equipped with the C/Y common bayonet mount, the FR1 could accept a variety of Yashica / Contax lenses and was targeted at serious amateur and professional photographers who did not need the added features of the more expensive Contax RTS. It had an electronically-controlled shutter with speeds from 1 sec. to 1/1000 (plus B), two exposure modes - manual and aperture priority - as well as DOF preview , self-timer , and full exposure information visible in the viewfinder.
