This one has some strange nostalgic feeling for me. It was my very first eBay-purchased camera back in 1999. Had only 7 on the film counter when bought and I've pretty much babied it ever since, Counter now at 181 but as can seen other than some dust from sitting too much, and a strip of foam inside the rear door that should be replaced soon, it's in fine shape. Also comes with a B+W UV protection filter I put on the lens pretty much from Day 1 and have rarely if ever removed. Glass clean, clear and perfect. All speeds sound fine (though not tested) and film advance, etc all working great. See photos of camera below.

An amazing performer. If you've never seen a 6x9 color chrome from this camera on light table buy this camera and prepare to have your socks blown off. And of course makes some amazingly sharp color and B&W negs too. Selling because as mentioned it sits around too much. For some reason for a few years now I've grabbed my Rolleiflex TLRs or Fuji 645 for MF shooting and my smaller 35mm rangefinders or SLRs. Though I have made some great photos with this one (If I think about it too much I might not sell), see some sample images below. Simplifying my photographic life right now and scaling down on some of my 50-60+ cameras.

PRICE: $615 USD plus shipping at cost with tracking, signature confirm and insurance (USPS Priority).

PAYPAL ACCEPTED (No e-checks accepted from paypal), send me a PM (private message) with your commitment to buy the camera and your mailing address and I will PM you back a final price. Once paid item will be shipped within 24-48 hours. Payment must come within 4 hours of my PM reply or I will move on to next buyer, if there is one.

I will only ship to “CONFIRMED” paypal accounts within the USA. If your paypal account is not confirmed or the shipping address is not in the USA, payment will be denied.

I have 100% positive feedback on eBay with a 445 feedback score, (eBay member since June 1999), and have sold here from time to time with no complaints, I am an APUG member since January 2003.

Looks great! I love my ii versions, but the iii with the pop out film roll release makes it much easier to reload. Fantastic lenses from fuji

The Texas Leica!

If I wasn't shooting LF already I'd jump on it, I got to play with one of these and was absolutely in love.

Fine, fine. That was my way of bumping the ad with saying "bump".

(honestly though very mixed feeling. I want to sell it, but then hear all these positive comments and a voice inside says: 'What the hell are you thinking to SELL this awesome camera!?")
