Yashica Y/C Standard Lenses

[dynachrome]

I wrote recently about a problem with a Yashica FX-3 Super. The mirror was hitting the back of my 60/2.8 S Planar. The consensus was that the mirror had slipped down a little. I will finally be bringing the camera to my repairman tomorrow. On the chance that the regular FX-3 has the same mirror and bracket as the FX-3 Super, I got a parts FX-3 to bring with me. The parts camera seems to be functional but I have not tested the meter yet. It came with the bottom half of a case and a 50mm f/2 marked DX. It looks just like the 50/2 ML. The only other Yashica (Yashinon) standard lenses I have with the DX marking are M42 lenses. Did Yashica use the DX marking on some Y/C mount standard lenses in markets outside of the U.S.? The plain FX-3 cameras seem more plentiful than the later FX-3 Super or the FX-3 Super 2000.

I believe Yashica/Contax mount Yashica lenses were almost all ML marked. I think I have a Yashica 50 that is marked DX but I don't know what that means.

I had the mirror slip on my Contax ST. Pretty simple to get it back in place.
