Richard, AH! I see now! Well, I do still have that camera empty, but I will not get a chance to play until Wednesday evening. I think I'm curious enough to...
Val, Yes, I did post the picture set up to the club web site. Merely go to the club site, go to the photos section (on the left hand menu bar), look in the top...
Hi, I have recently inherited an ST605. Everything seems to work fine apart from needing new seals (No problem thanks to Jon) and a problem with the shutter....
Hi Kim, Was this happening before you replaced the seals? If you need a repair manual I have a copy. $17.00 and that includes shipping for the U.S. Gary ...
Hi Gary, As yet I haven't done the seals. It seems a bit pointless if I can't fix it. I am actually in the UK so shipping would be a bit more. Having had a...
Kim, I will try and look at the repair manual this week end to see if there are any fixes or adjustments concerning below. Will get back to you. Gary Kim Coxon...
Kim. The escapement is held by three screws. You will need to remove it and clean it in naphtha (or lighter fluid). No need to lubricate, although some...
Hi Tod, Thanks for that, I can see 2 silver cross head screws but not a 3rd. There are 2 black slotted ones but I suspect these hold the side plate on. I don't...
Kim. You are right, its two on the 605 model, and three on the 701, 801, etc. I was writing from work without looking at the camera. But now I have the...
Kim. Forgot to mention that the two screws holding the escapement are indeed silver colored. In my camera they are slotted. Don't unscrew the black ones. They...
Tod, DONE IT!! Many thanks for your help. The problem wasn't with the escapement but that came out and got cleaned anyway. The problem was tith the cam that...
To all, A bit of an update on Richard's cameras and I'm placing a plea for some additional help. Richard sent me two of his non-working AX-3's. While the black...
... Bill, I just read your latest email mposting. That stupid silver one has really become a problem, as you noted. I surely appreciate the time and effort,...
Hi, Bill. I have had this same thing happen in Minolta X-series cameras, but not in AX-3s. In the Minolta X cameras (some models, anyway), there were 4...
Jon, Thanks for the advice. Of the two possibilities I think I might just look at that variable resistor strip. I do know that on Nikon EM's that is a real...
One or two other thoughts. I've seen this more commonly in Nikons (like the EM), but also in a Chinon or three and at least one Pentax. Every once in a...
Hi, I haven't posted in awhile. I have been playing with my ST605N and starting a darkroom. I have always wanted to develop my own film and now with grown...
Hi Terry, The major difference is that the AZ1 is M42 and will take the same lenses as your ST605N whereas the AX3 takes the boyonet fit lenses which may mean...
I picked up a cheap set of Mamiya M42 mount lenses. They look like new, all Mamiya brand (28mm 50mm 135mm) I planned on using them on my Minolta MD camera with...
Yes, these lenses will work on M42 Fujicas. Since you will have to use stop-down metering, I would suggest a stop-down metering only model such as the ST605(N)...
(In reply) - I have a variety of M42's, and the Mamiyas have been the biggest disappointment, since I once owned a near-new Mamiya 500TL. I have had nothing...
These lenses look like new still. The blades are clean and snappy, and the focus is smooth. Looks like no one used them. I have the lenses... so I just need a...
(In reply) - The ST701 uses the older batteries, but I have a Gossen Luna Pro Digital F meter, and no TTL camera that I know of can approach it in low-light...
I have a light meter also, which I use often. I am looking for a cheap camera that I can travel with, and not worry about the cost. But it needs to have a...
(In reply) - Both the Spotmatic and Fujica ST 701/801 are light, and cheap compared to what they deliver. There are more Spotmatics around to choose from, and...
I have a 605N and prefer it to the AX-3 and AX multi that I own. I started with a 605 and still love the manual control. The other two have their place but the...
(in reply) - I had an ST605N and sold it - again, I need the microprism. So far as I know, the ST701 was the only Fujica without a split-image finder. ... for...
I have only seen photos of the Fujica cameras, so I am unsure on the size. It looks like the 605N would be close to a Minolta SRT ?? Or is it lighter smaller?...
