Why is there noone mentioned the bessaflex. It is younger and lighter, but fun to use. You can still find brand new ones, they are quite rare though.


I did, last post on the first page.

Yes, but it can be up to 10× the price of a good Fujica…


May not be that pricy.There are not many good fujis on ebay as well, also mostly they are over 100GBP. I just got a black bessaflex on the way, comes with a jupiter 9 lens, it's 400USD overall. So I would think it's a fair price. But you may find it's a little more diffcult to find.


My Fujicas include 2× ST-801, ST-705, ST-701, ST-605, ST-605N and possibly another one that I've forgotten (yes, I'll sell some of the extras once I get around to it =), and I've never paid more than 60 EUR for them on eBay, and I've always bought them with Fuji lenses included (which is why I have so many Fujicas). For example, one of the ST-801's came with EBC Fujinon 135mm f/2.5 and EBC Fujinon 55mm f/1.8, total 35 EUR + shipping… The ST-605* are much cheaper still and very abundant on eBay, just don't look at the expensive listings. ;>
