Yashica's late-1970s electronic C/Y SLR — the FR-II, aperture-priority auto, TTL LED metering.

The Yashica FR-II is a 35mm film SLR from the late 1970s in the FR family, built on the Contax/Yashica (C/Y) bayonet developed through the Yashica and Carl Zeiss partnership. It sat alongside the FR and FR-I as an electronic enthusiast body and accepted Yashica ML lenses and Carl Zeiss T* optics, giving owners a route into the wider C/Y lens system.

The FR-II is a C/Y bayonet SLR for 35mm film with an electronically controlled focal-plane shutter and through-the-lens metering. It provides aperture-priority automatic exposure with an LED viewfinder readout, and the electronic timing means the camera depends on a battery to fire. Verified points are stated here; where a manual-mode implementation or exact shutter range cannot be confirmed it is left out rather than guessed, in keeping with the accuracy-first approach.

The FR-II suits a photographer who prefers aperture-priority automation with access to the Zeiss and Yashica ML lens systems for portraits and general work. It streamlines shooting by handling shutter speed automatically from a chosen aperture. As with the other electronic FR bodies, its limitation is battery dependence, since the shutter will not fire with a dead cell, so a spare battery is worth carrying.

On the used market the FR-II is an affordable automatic C/Y body, so foam and electronics both need inspection. Replace perished foam light seals and mirror-damper foam. Confirm the camera powers up and the electronically timed shutter fires with a fresh battery, and test the aperture-priority auto and LED meter for correct response, as electronic faults are the main risk here. Check the prism for haze or desilvering, and verify film advance, rewind and the bayonet lock.
