Want to Buy WTB: Fujipet 120

[ChristopherCoy]

I've become enthrawled with 6x6, and specifically toy/box cameras. I've currently got a Holga and the recently added Certo Phot... And I'd like to find one of those cool retro Fujipet 120 models. Apparently they weren't exported out of Japan, thus eBay seems to have a shortage.

Anyone have one, or know a source of getting one?

Those things can get pretty pricey...

Agreed. I wanted one too until
I saw what they go for.

There is also a Japanese word that can be used, but that does not work here as a pasted link...

And see here for some recent auctions that show you what they tend to go for:

Some colours are more desireable than others...the red ones obviously, as they go faster

Whoa, recent eBay auctions at $115 and $200. BIN for $150 open now.

I saw those on eBay... but they are 35mm. I want the 120 version.

I've put out a request to see who has family members living in or around Japan. Hopefully I can work something out.

With that I meant a Japanese term in Katakana, but APUG can't render Katakana characters....

Oops. Right. Sorry.

Have you sourced one yet?

Still trying to pin down a contact. A friend of mine has a son who is stationed there, or near there. She's trying to hook me up with his wife, but they are traveling or something right now.
