Hi Sergio:
Thanks for the link for the Fujica Mini instructions. That
was very helpful.
Have you
used your Fujica? I am in the middle of a roll of film on
mine and I will post some pictures if they turn out all right.
What I was trying to say was that the diaphragm (aperture ring) on
mine seems to be stuck at around f8 or f11. and won't open
up all the way to f2.8. What I can't figure out is whether
it's supposed to be like that or whether it's broken.
Does the aperture ring on yours completely open wide
to f2.8?
I do think this camera seem a bit limited compared to
the Ricoh Auto Half (only one shutter speed compared
to two on the Ricoh, no flash capability, and the
fastest film you can use is ISO 200), but it's certainly
very cool looking! One other thing I have noticed about
these cameras is that there seems to have been some problem
with the black paint wearing off of them. Mine is bad,
but I have seen photos of many online that were far worse
looking. It must have been some defect.
I guess
with half frame you almost have to think of it the way
one thinks of digital and not worry if you waste a lot of
pictures. Otherwise it can take forever to finish a roll
of film!
