Fujica ST801
Fujica ST801 Chrome
Probably the most popular and highly rated camera in Fujica ST series, this Fujica ST801 is in fully functional and in excellent cosmetic condition. Revolutionary at the time, LED meter display in the viewfinder and a full range of mechanical shutter speeds. This camera features a 42mm screw lens mount, perfect for Takumars and other manual focus lenses. Fujica ST series are well known for robust operation and a very "dark" (well light-proofed) mirror box, which helps with contrast. Full user manual can be found at Butkus.org.
FUNCTION
Shutter, meter, film transport and timer all work as designed (accuracy of the meter has not been verified with film). Brand new light seals and mirror guard were installed ($25 value). One of the teeth on the film take up spool is missing (the other three will hold the film end just fine).
COSMETICS
EXC+, no major dents or scratches. Focusing screen and viewfinder are bright and clear, with just a couple of tiny specs of dust (will not affect shooting in any way). Original leatherette is in excellent condition.
