FS: Large Collection of Fujinon Large Format Lens Literature
I am selling my complete collection of Fujinon Large Format Lens literature. It took me many years and over $400 to accumulate this lot. I paid $20 each for many of the individual pieces, and over $50 for the 3-ring binder full of Fujinon literature. But, rather than flog all the pieces individually on eBay, I'd like to keep the collection in tact. This is most likely the largest private collection of Fujinon Large Format Lens literature in existence. The collection of literature covers the Fujinon lenses from the 1960s through the year 2000, with the bulk of it covering the 1970s and 1980s when Fujinon was most active in this market.

Here's a partial list of what's included:

Well, the check hasn't arrived and the buyer, who has been active in the forum, doesn't respond to PMs. So, the Fujinon literature is still avialble.

I think that these should be scanned but I do not believe that I will get to it when I buy them.

But I would donate money if somebody promises to scan them.

I can pay $65 via PayPal including shipping to WV if you want to sell it. I'm an archivist volunteer for the Internet Archive and have limited interest in such a large hoard. So offer is limited.

As have been previously mentioned, I can sponsor this effort if the new owner will scan the material and makes this available to the public. I can contribute $25.

I would take it, pending whether you are willing to ship to Germany and the weight (-> shipping costs) of the lot.

Well if the owner wants to scan it all I will pay $35 for individual page hi res jpegs on a disc. At least 2 mb each, but they can be higher. I will put them on the Archive then the owner can collect $25 from the other member once they are for public consumption and still have the material left over to sell.

I am not looking forward to scan that hoard and don't really need the actual items. I just need hi quality scans.

Here are some samples:
