Probably the most popular and highly rated camera in Fujica ST series, this Fujica ST801 is in excellent 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. No returns on this camera, please.

FUNCTION

Meter, film transport and self-timer work properly (accuracy of the meter has not been verified with film). Shutter seems to work well at all speeds except 1/8 and 1/15 sec, which seem slow. Brand new light seals and mirror guard were installed ($25 value). Vintage camera strap is included.
 

COSMETICS

EXC++. No major blemishes or dents, but some small scratches on the bottom of the camera. Focusing screen and viewfinder are clear and bright, with just a couple of tiny specs of dust (no effect on performance). Original leatherette is in excellent shape.
