Hello everybody, I just received an X-Fujinar-T 135mm and an X-Fujinon Fisheye. They are in very good conditions, but the barrels (expecially on the 135mm) are...
... Marco, I usually use a household spray cleaner (probably a mix of alcohol, water, and soap) applied to a paper towel and I've had no problems. Sometimes...

Any comments on this claim: "Kominar lenses were also sold by Fuji under the Fujinar brand name, they're exactly the same"? The claim was made in eBay auction...
Hello to my fellow Fujica ST series camera owners. I am looking for a reliable repair service to do work on my Fujica ST-series bodies. I can get mirror foam...
Hi Jim I think that Fujica SLR's can be bought so cheaply now on ebay that it wouldnt be worth your while paying for someone to repair your current ...
(In reply) - Since I own seven ST701's (and a couple for parts) I would disagree - much of the time the meters need repair, and since they take two 1.5v cells,...
I recently acquired a Fujica ST801 SLR. I think it may have a problem with the meter and am trying to verify that. The meter seems to work, but the problem...
The ST801 should be able to meter with a light press on the shutter button. The meter swithch needs adjustment - there's a good chance that over the eons the...
Hi everyone, I just joined today and would like to introduce myself. I'm German, studied English and Cultural Sciences, and live in Leipzig (former East). And...
(In reply) - I have 7 ST701's, and can refer you to someone for service. It sounds like the film is not being pulled straight to the takeup spool. While you...
Well, Jutta, after looking at the photos you've posted I would strongly recommend that you don't get discouraged with your camera mishaps. I don't have that...

I recently purchases the flash on ebay. the fold down head is loose and will not stay up. I tried to disassemble it to use parts from another that the...
Hello out there: came in through Kimīs Fujica site. A few days ago i just completed my Fujica M42 collection with very nice ST 605 II. To my surprise this...
I just got a 200mm vivitar lens, and as I was attaching it to my camera and dry-firing with it, I couldn't help but wonder--how the heck do you guys deal with...
Kitty: I like big heavy cameras! A 200mm Vivitar lens isn't among the heaviest lenses out there. Not to sound demeaning but, I'd suggest holding the camera...
(In reply) - If yours is the 200mm Vivitar f/3.5 with the built-in sliding lens hood, that's about as light as they come for M42. You might consider using a...
Hey this is what kids are for! Stand a child in front of you and plant the elbow of your front arm on the child's shoulder, meanwhile steadying the centre of...
RCB, Ray and Philip, Thanks for the responses. Wow, if the Viv is as light as they come, I can only imagine how much others must weigh! I've been holding the...
Hi Kitty...I've used long lenses for decades. One of the greatest thrills in photography is capturing details in a scene that you can't see visually while at...
(In reply) - The monopods are quite light and collapse down to a portable size to hook on a belt - it's a sensible solution. A tripod is bulkier, and not...
... camera and dry-firing with it, I couldn't help but wonder--how the heck do you guys deal with the weight? I mean, I'm a 115-120 pound asian female with...
I'm only a 135 lb Asian male and I too have small hands. Those big lenses can be a challenge to hold. The older Vivitar's are heavier than the later ones with...
Thanks for the suggestions! I can't wait to try them out when I take the lens for a spin.:) Kitty [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
