Hi, Thanks for the suggestion... but my "hope" was to find the docs on the the web (....it shouldn't be an "industrial secret" anymore.....). Meanwhile I...
that is totally righteous. this was a fujica lens? i didn't realize they'd ever made one at f/1.2. -chris ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
(In reply) - The only M42 f/1.2 lenses that I know of are the Revuenon and Tomioka - both very expensive today. Here's an auction on the Tomioka (7506377045)...
... this lens is actually for the revuenon lens. it has both revuenon and tomioka on the name ring. ;) -chris b. In a message dated 8/2/05 7:23:19 AM,...
(In reply) - Sounds like you lucked into something valuable - not unusual for the Tomioka 1.2 to go for $300-plus just on rarity. Tomioka also built some...
I have a Tomioka 1.4 in M42 mount. I'm curious...does it have any value beyond say a SMC Takumar or Chinon 1.4? Jon ... auction ... lenses. ... near...
yes, quite an amazing buy. that wasn't me, though. another list member, kim, found that lens with a fujica body. i've been noticing the chinon connection...
(In reply) - I have not shot with the Tomioka - just happened to luck into it, and it's mounted on my Memotron. I think this is a matter of collector value,...
(In reply) - My thought would be to contact Kyocera, which now owns Tomioka, and see if they have a written history to send you. Here's a bit from links -...
That is interesting...the Tomioka 1.4 I have is on a Memotron (branded as Revueflex AC-1). The Chinon lenses I've had have all been very nice, though. I have...
(In reply) - My Memotron came from a retired British professional, who had the Helios 44-2 mounted on it. After I got the Tomioka, I swapped lenses - figured...
Yes, it is a Fujica F1.2 but if you read the post carefully it was on an AX3. It has the X Bayonet mount not M42. There is a picture of it on my website. Kim ...
Hello, new guy here. I would like to know if the ST705 would be a suitable camera for learning the ways of manual camera operation. I have a purchase lined up...
ah, i see. i guess i morphed it in my memory to an az1, since we'd been talking about the m42 bodies up to that point. still, though, very impressive. as i...
Yes, the ST705 would be a good choice to learn manual photography with. There are a few things to keep in mind: 1 - Original lenses for open-aperature metering...
Thanks for the reply, Robert. I do wear eyeglasses. Are Fujinon lenses the only kind with open-aperature metering? Was the ST605 really a later model that did...
Besides the Fujinon leses, there are rumors that TX adapter was available, and, of course, there is a Tamron Adaptall II mount available. In Germany, there are...
No rumour ... I've got one ... and a couple of lenses :-) The Vivitar 90-230 is really quite good ... bought it second-hand for use on a Zenit (M42) back in...
Hi...Nice to see that there is a lot of action going on here. Got two f/1.4 lenses for my ST801's...finally after 30+years with my f/1.8. ha ha I'm always...
Ha! Thanks for the tip about the tripod mount on the 90~230 zoom - it seems to be a regular on evilBay. I already have the Vivitar 28 and 105 T4 lenses, but...
Hi Fujica pixers...Just a short note. Its been noted in past Fujica club emails, but worth mentioning again. Avoid the Fujica f/2.2 lens. I've noted a number...
Hi Bill, I have several of the 2.2's and don't find any problem with them, certainly not with the M42 versions. Interestingly there are at least 2 completely...
Could this have been a simple triplet lens? I have the 55 mm 1.6 (not EBC), and, though I've never seen a lens test, it does seem quite sharp. Jim in AZ ...
Hi Jim, All the F2.2's are quoted as being 4 elements in 4 groups in the manuals. Regards Kim ... From: Jennel2@... To: fujica35mmslrs@yahoogroups.com ...
Hi Fujica pixers...Didn't mean to stir up a commotion among those of you owning the Fujica f/2.2 lens. My wife put my 1980 Modern P. lens test issue somewhere...
Not having experience with this particular lens, I still think the general rule is probably true. That is, once you stop down to f. 8 or a smaller aperture,...
O.k., I have film in it, the light meter works and the shutter works. I'm ready to learn how to use it. I assume that one does not have to Jedi Master to get...
With slide film, a consistant metering technique helps, but with print film, it's almost like you just have to point in the right direction! Anywhere in the...
