I was prowling a local flea-market over the weekend, and brought home a Fuji half-frame scale-focus 35mm camera.
Cute little thing, reads "Fujica Half 1.9" on the front of the body, and has a Fujinon 1:1.9 f=3.3cm lens.
Aside from being dusty, it appears to be in good condition, except:
1) Shutter does not fire (button depresses all the way, but with no result; using cable release makes no difference.)
2) Advance lever swings-out about 10 degrees, but will not wind / cock the shutter. I've opened the back and tried advancing the wind-spool and the sprocket with my thumb, to no effect. ( Spool / sprocket show no motion when advance lever is manipulated.)
Anybody have any experience with this camera, and could say whether "they always jammed", or what have you ?
Thanks !
