READ- TESTED - Fujica ST701 with Lens 35mm Camera Vintage Gift Street Photography Portrait outlet Lomography Gift
Information taken from the net. Not responsible for accuracy.
The ST701 has a stop-down, match-needle TTL metering system that uses two silicon photo diodes, and was the first camera design to abandon CdS cells in favor of a faster and more sensitive silicon photo-diode. Metering needle indicators are displayed in the viewfinder, which is exceptionally bright. The camera's focal-plane shutter has speeds of 1 to 1/1000 sec. The flash sync speed is 1/60. The camera has two connectors for flash, the top one is for FP and the bottom is for X. The finder screen has a microprism to aid in focusing. The camera's meter is powered by 2 EPX400/E400N mercury batteries, but unlike many cameras of the time, it simply will not work at all with higher voltage modern batteries. Hearing aid batteries (MBX400) are one of the few available solutions for this issue, 3.6mm height batteries can be used; held together by a plastic spacer. Other more complex solutions involve the use of diodes.
There were three versions of this camera. The image to the right is the first version and below are of the third version. The second version is similar to the first but the badging has been changed. The third version added a hot shoe and split-image rangefinder focusing spot.
