I have both adapters (and I only have non-fujica scewmount lenses) the X-D adapter has a little ring that allows use to set the maximum F stop up to 5.6 (of...
That is fascinating! I think I'll get a working AX-5 and then the X-D adapter, if for no other reason than just to witness the technical marvel at work:-) ...
Hi All I am fairly new to this group so this is my first post. I have come to Fujicas by way of buying a Spotmatic and a few Super Taks. I have the two 605s...
I don't think these items are worth that price. Referring to the former transactions, this one should be around $180. The 28mm ebc screw is the focus here....
Something's been going on with Fujica products on Ebay for the last month or so. Early bidders before auction end have something to do with bidding highs. But...
(In reply) - Your Fujica facts are fine, and the lenses do sell at a premium to Takumars for the EBC's due to scarcity. Insofar as EBay, there are two...
Well Philip...I put your theory(one that I believe also) to test, that early bidders generally raise the level of bidding till the final bids are higher than...
(In reply) - It is theoretically possible to scare others off by "stacking" multiple hidden bids. I have done that with a 2:00 AM auction, where I stacked...
Hello, still cannot find anyone whould would consider reparing metering on my AX-5 (at least 2 stops off). So I wanted to take the cover off and to see if the...
Not a fun project, taking the top off, but the hardest part is that knob over the winding crank. You might even notice a few marks on the knob/screw on the...
Jon, Could you send me 2 sets of the seal and the pdf manual? I have several Fujica cameras and some of them have light leak problem. Can you send me details...
Hope no-one minds, but thought you might like to see some example bird photos I took last month with my old 400/4.5 mounted on my new KonicaMinolta 5D DSLR -...
Hi Ian...good pix of the dove & finch...I'm not hot on starlings tho. They've taken over the U.S. after coming from England. But anyhow the Fujica lens gives...
I agree, in general, early bidders drive things up. BUT. If you were to break this auction down into individual items, the price would be similar. Possibly...
Anirban, Interesting. I have noticed my Fujica (and other M42) lenses screw on too far on my Yashica TL Super. This causes problems getting the aperture to...
(In reply) - Based on my owning a number of M42 brands, I regard Yashica as having more "build variance" than most - even on the same model such as the TL...
... Insofar as beiing able to screw in - yes. The Takumar SMC's have an extra lug on the rear which theoretically can snag on lens flanges where the front is...
Hi, I found a discussion on the KYPhoto website: http://www.kyphoto.com/classics/forum/messages/674/4725.html Turns out that two slightly different M42...
I have alot of people calling me for these services so if you are a makeup artist/photographer/musician/wedding planner or in the wedding business then come...
Well, I couldn't afford a 16mm Fujica wideangle lens(or even find one). But lookee what I won on Ebay! Won a 14mm f3.5 Mamiya SX lens for my Mamiya DSX camera....
You may want to consider NOT resetting your meter, if your camera meters "high". If you like to take pix at low lite levels, your AX-5 fortuitously can meter...
Hi, Has anyone got a replacement flash mount for an AZ-1 ? (The plastic bit held by three screws) Mine has several chips and bits missing and is the only...
Hi, Has anyone got a replacement flash mount for an AZ-1 ? (The plastic bit held by three screws) Mine has several chips and bits missing and is the only...
(In reply) - You might have to work around this with a flash bracket from EBay that screws into the baseplate of the camera. The good news is that it will put...
