Sell sell sell! Quick, before the price goes lower! Kodak will soon stop making film ya know. The US congress will end presedential term limits too, so we can...
Just joined the group. My first real camera was a ST801 purchased new in 1972 or 73. Still have it and all of the slides I took with it. I'd like to bring it...

I recently purchased a Fujica ST-801 with 55mm EBC Fujinon lens. The focus ring is extremely tight, if I turn it end to end a couple times, it does loosen up a...
Does anyone know if the ST-801 uses any type of foam in the prism area ? I've had bad experiences with rotten foam in my Olympus OM1/2 cameras damaging the...
(In reply) - Nearly every SLR has foam around the viewscreen itself as a sealer (the Mamiya Sekor DTL did not, which is why you want to avoid it). This foam...
In the OM1 and OM2 Olympus used a piece of black foam that was in contact with the silvering on top of the prism. I think this was to seal out extraneous light...
Does the ST701 or ST601 use the same eyepiece ring as the ST801 ? The ring on my ST801 screws right out so it should be easy to replace. I've seen the 701's...
(In reply) - I cannot speak to the ST601, but I've used the diopter correctors from a Nikon on the Fujica with the round eyepiece - can't recall right now...

Hi! I have a zoom lens and the bayonet mount is marked "F/AX". Question: 1. Am I correct in assuming that this lens is intended for a Fuji / Fujica camera? 2....
... Your lens will fit any of the X-series Fuji/Fujica cameras... AX-1, AX-3, AX-5, AX Multi-Program, STX-1, STX-1n and STX-2. The mount was commonly referred...
Hi Thank you very much for your prompt reply. That is precisely the kind of information that I was seeking. I have been after a good manual camera for some...
Please excuse me if this is frowned upon, but I didn't see anything in previous messages about it. I have put my Fujinon 135M f3.5 on eBay. I hope soemone can...
Are there any caveats to using Pentax,Mamiya or any other m42 lenses on the Fujica ST801? In reading through Fijica related sites I came across a short...
I have trryed a mamiya 50mm f2 . it is ok , but not a real top notched lens . fujica is much better , my two cents worth . any one else ? ... From: fcundin...
(In reply) - There are only two related things that come to mind ... a). I have over a dozen of the ST701's - because I prefer a full microprism screen (and...
The SMC Taks will catch on the screw holes and will mean it will be almost impossible to remove the lens. The super Taks and the previous lenses are fine but...
Kim, Thank you for the insight. My m42 lenses are sitting mostly idle since the the shutter started sticking on the Spot. Without checking to see if a repair...
(Addendum) - The finder on the ST701 is about 1/2 stop brighter than the Spotmatic - I have original literature where the bright finder is mentioned. Amongst...
I have no Fujinon lenses or any long term experience, but I regard the Mamiya/Sekor m42 lenses to be fair or middling in image quality and handling. All of the...
(In reply) - EBC lenses tend to be scarce, and therefore expensive. Mamiya Sekors are good optically, but were poorly built, and IMO should be avoided. I...
I have several Vivitars and if I squint a little I can't tell the differences between good samples and any good working lens in my drawer. Series 1 examples...

First impression is that the overall build is OK and the feel is about right for this level of camera quality, reading too much web related "impressions"...
