I think I read that the FX series were always produced and indeed designed by Cosina. I understand that it is a basic and staple Cosina design which has been used by various non Yashica brands e.g. a Braun model which I saw in Teneriffe. I agree that the earlier models felt more substantial and were more metal than the more recent ones which feel much more plasticky.
Here, here to "God save the Contax" as we know it but I would not be averse to a Cosina digital FX3 taking C/Y lenses and I would not mind what brand name was given to it - Epson maybe? Think of the kudos from the use of CZ lenses. Many of us like a mixture of old and new hence the success of "retro" designs in all sorts of products from radios to cars and minimalism has much to commend it.
