2 'New' Oldies For Me

[kamera]

Last week I received two new babies for my collection and use in this case.

1. Canon FT QL with 50/1.8 lens.
2. Fujica ST901 with 50/1.4 lens.

Both in great shape although I did have to replace light seals on the Fujica. Both are also working great.

Litesong had an early bid on this 901 but then I see where he got another one plus an AZ-1.

Missed out on what appeared to be a really nice Fujica ST 801. I got outbid with 35 seconds to go in the auction...plenty of time for me to counter bid...but the
gosh darn computer took that time to freeze.

This is my first Fujica and my second Canon, the other being a Canonet.

you will love the Canon.....and the Fujica ST 901 is good, but I wish you would have gotten that ST 801.
the ST 801's are special SLRs, particluarly the early ones!!

Sounds like you picked up a couple great cameras Ron. I still have no 801 or 901 but I did buy another 701 to tinker with. I believe it needs a bit of attention to the clutch under the cocking lever but we'll see when it arrives. Hey, the lens alone is worth the $1 price. Told myself I've got to put the brakes on spending at least for a couple months. Suddenly, a Praktiflex FX w/50mm Victar f2.9, Ricoh KR10 w/50 f2, Ricoh XR7 and a Yashica TL Electro X ITS w/70-230 Rikenon arrived in the mail. What was I to do but buy a couple more SLR's to keep them company?(Praktica L2 w/50 & 135 and a Sears 500MX w/50 &135) If the weather ever co-operates and things calm down enough to allow spare time I've got one pile of cameras to try and use.

Weirdcollector if you ever want to get rid of that TL Electro let me know. That was the first SLR I ever bought. Brand new in '75
