Fujica STX-1

Shortly after I bought my Fujica AX-3 , I bought this camera as a backup. It was the Fujica entry-level camera in the late 70s and early 80s, and uses the same lenses as the AX-3.  The shutter is completely mechanical, so doesn’t need batteries to operate (unlike the AX-3, which had an electronic shutter), and has speeds from ½ sec to 1/700. Focussing is manual, and operation of the moving coil light meter involves manual adjustment of the shutter speed and aperture settings. A battery is required only to run the meter.  Unlike the AX-3, this is still working nicely.
