Apr 3, 2008 · I found a Fujica AX-5 in my grandfathers storage. Where you load the film, there is white stuff on the metal. Looks like rust and erosion. It is dusty on the mirror. It comes with; EBC x-fujinon 1:1.6 50mm lens EBC x-Fujinon.t 1:4.5 200mm lens Fujica auto extension tube x25 and x50 There is a LMC...

Dec 4, 2010 · <p>Hi,<br> I seem to have a problem with my recently bought Fujica AX-5. The mirror doesn't seem to flip up fast enough, causing a not exposed piece on the top of my film. Should I lube the mirror? And how should I do that?<br> Regards, Matthijs</p>

Mar 28, 2022 · I agree that the Fujica X-mount SLRs in general are overlooked are underrated. The AX-5 was a worthy competitor to the Canon A-1, though the AX cameras were a bit late to market compared to what the other major Japanese makers were already offering at the time.

Sep 28, 2008 · I think the most sophisticated M42 camera is the Fujica AX-5 with the X-D lens adapter mounted. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think with the X-D adapter, the AX-5 can do aperture priority, shutter priority and programmed mode with any M42 lenses that can be mounted on! I know the adapter is intended for the later Fujinon M42 lenses with an aperture-sensing tab, but I can't think of anything ...

Jan 14, 2005 · Thank you for considering my question. I would like to use some lens from an old Fujica AX-5 camera on my Pentax K-1000. I'm wondering if there is an adapter made for this pairing. The lens from the Fujica are Fujinon 50mm f/1.6, Tokina 80-200mm f/4.5, and Tokina 28mm f/2.8. I would enjoy using t...

Dec 2, 2007 · still basically like all the other M42 lenses that the aperture diaphram is stopped down via pressing the pin. So does the camera adjust how much it presses the pin to set the proper aperture? That is quite challenging. On a related note, the Fujica D adapter allows M42 Fujinon lenses to be used on Fujica AX-5 in shutter priority and program mode.

Feb 21, 2004 · ok, here goes. i've been learning on a fujica ax-3 for years now, i have a prime 50/1.6? and 135/2.8. its been great. recently the meter has been goofy and id like to get a real simple, reliable light meter to use until i can get a new camera. something under $50, any suggestions? as for my next ...

Aug 31, 2006 · If you're not happy with stopped down metering, the only option is a Fujica AX-5 with X-D M42 adapter. This works with auto diaphragm and full aperture metering in program and shutter priority auto modes - quite a clever trick!

Apr 7, 2013 · <p>I 've been looking for a compact short zoom (35-70) for my Fujica STX-1 camera. I have come across the Fujinon 35-70 2.8-3.7 zoom lens a couple of times, but the price tag is always a bit high for my standards. A widely available alternative (at least on the german eBay site) is the Pors...

May 13, 2003 · The absolute best ... a Fujica AX-5 with an "XD" (not "XS") mount adaptor. This combination gives open-aperture metering in shutter-priority and "program" modes when used with auto-aperture 42-screw lenses. You've also got stop-down metering as well as full manual control. Battery is a standard 4LR44, so no problems there either.
