Some of Amazon's partner booksellers ask crazy prices for old NOS books. It's actually a small book and more a collectable than a useful tool.Ĭooltouch wrote: It doesn't surprise me. I grabbed mine on eBay for $5.00, but that was quite some time ago. Could you tell me the full title and author, please? I might want to add a copy to my library - if I can find one. Wow, that's some collection! I couldn't help but notice the book you're posing those cameras on.

I have all 3 different AX models (1/3/5). Those AX models are quite nice to handle and offer more comfort too. The M42 to AX adapter isn't expensive and gives you better versatility.Īlso the type of battery used in the AX models (6V) is easy available nowadays compared to the old 1.5 V style mercury battery of the ST-models. Tb_a wrote: I would rather recommend the AX-5 or AX-3 models over the older M42 ST-types as on the AX models you can use both AX and M42 lenses but you cannot use any AX lens on an ST-body. And I'll bet that the M42 Fujinon you have mounted to it is an excellent optic. AFAIK, the STX-1 was a fully manual camera with a bayonet mount equivalent to the earlier M42 mount ST605.Ĭooltouch wrote: Thanks, Edgar. I still have it and still use it occasionally and it works as well today as it ever did. ?ĭigiChromeEd wrote: My first camera given to me by my dad in 1975 was a Fujica ST705W. But what about the STX series? And what about the X-series Fujinons? I did an eBay search, but it seems that most of the hits I got were for the mirrorless rangefinders. They would seem to be interesting alternatives to the Spotmatics. The M42 Fujicas appear to be very robust cameras, but I don't know anything about them other than what I've read. Or do you Fuji fans prefer the Fujica models that take the M42 lenses.

Know of a better one?
