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...

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...
I'm trying to remove the top cover of one of my ST801's and am having a problem getting the film rewind lever loose. Have tried unscrewing the large rewind...

I jam the pins in on my M42 's . I use a dab of super glue . I then have a fully manual lens the I can even use on my rebel xti . I never really was a fan of...
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"...

Hi Bill and everyone !! I have been working hard on my photos, and been agnostic about formats. I am finding a Rexagon 28mm M42 is working pretty well for me...
(In reply) - I've always used a meter, as I prefer incident light readings. Modern digital meters like the Sekonic (and my Gossen) allow for tricks like...
Does anyone know if the Nikon diopter correction lenses will work on the ST-801 ? The ST-801 has a threaded eyepiece which looks similar to the Nikon FM/FE...
(In reply) - I have used those Nikon screw-in diopters on the ST701 - if the ST801 has that same round thread diameter and pitch, I would assume that it would...
