The Fujica ST801 is a manual SLR 35mm film camera made by Fuji between 1972 and 1978. It was the first 35mm SLR to use viewfinder LEDs, replacing the traditional centre-the-needle meter display with a centre-the-indicator-light system. This electronic light metering system was developed to eliminate mechanical failure, and needle deviation caused by shocks.
Feature summary
- M42 SCREW MOUNT. Fuji created a modification to the standard 42mm screw mount, adding a very small tab on the back of the aperture ring to communicate with the body's light meter and enable open aperture metering.Unfortunately, M42 Fujinon lenses are sometimes found to have had their aperture coupling tab filed off. While unmodified Fujinons do fit many other M42-mount camera bodies, some lens flanges or lens adapters are wide enough in diameter that the aperture tab interferes with screwing in the lens fully.
- TTL average light meter with LED indicators
- Open-aperture metering using silicon photocells
- Shutter speeds up to 1/2000 s
