FUJI PET 35__0098

            A low-cost Japanese camera made by Fuji (the leatherette on the back is stamped "Made by Fuji Photo Film Co."). The lens is a Fujinar 4.5cm f/3.5, three elements, and on the inside of the hinged back there is a small sticker recommending Fuji film.

Quite well made for a cheap camera. The shutter has 4 speeds (25-200) plus B, all working reasonably accurately, and the shutter is extremely quiet. The diaphragm has only 4 blades but moves easily with very little friction. And the front element focuses easily and smoothly after all these years (I'm guessing this camera was made in the late 1950's, before Fuji got serious about making good cameras).

But as was common with early 35's in the U.S.A., you have to push a small lever on the back after each exposure in order to release the winding mechanism (reminiscent of the Argus C-3 of the 1940's). The sprocket is in the film tracks and is not geared to the winding knob. And you have to set the frame counter to zero yourself. And you have to cock the shutter yourself (with the left hand side of the black rocker arm) and you release the shutter with the right hand side of the rocker arm. Both operations are easy enough to do using the forefingers of both hands while you hold the camera.

There is no double exposure prevention, so you can easily make double exposures with this camera. You just cock the shutter again and fire. I am anxious to try this camera with film. I am always motivated when a camera requires special effort to obtain results.

The camera was photographed on a hand-embroidered Hungarian tablecloth from the 1950's.
