Fujinon Info Source?

[craigclu]

It seems that info regarding Fujinon enlarging lenses is extremely hard to find (at least the models I'm tracking down). I'm sorting through some things that came with a recent purchase and I can't find a trail of info for a few things.

There were some Fujinon EFC-II lenses included. They have odd markings such as 1:6/64.5 ƒ5.6 on one that has only 5.6, 8 and 11 for f stop settings. Another is a 35mm ƒ5.6. Also, there are some extremely large-sized Fujinons mounted in large flared mounts with 3 bolt hole flanges. For instance, the 135 ƒ5.6 is 3-4 times the size of a 135 Rodagon and dwarfs it when sitting side by side. Are these possibly from a large Fuji processor? They are beautifully made and look very expensive.

I think I'll run some tests on some of these optics and see if there happens to be any jewels mixed in there.

I don't know any of the stuff you mentioned above, but here's my advice:

I happen to use a lot of Fuji products including the enlarging equipment because of the region/market I'm in, but that doesn't mean there's a lot of information about them, either. So, when I have specific questions, I call the customer service of Fuji in Japan directly, which has been often more helpful than searching online.

Have you contacted the one in your region/market?
