vasudevan_navneeth Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 <p>I bought a Fujica 35 SE from Ebay for about $15. Customs promptly levied another $15. Very nicely bult camera with very good ergonomics and silent operation. Camera was in good shape but the light meter was dead when it came.<br> Posting a few random pics, mostly unedited<br> Rds</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ridinhome Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 <p><strong>Vasudevan</strong> - thanks for posting. These are great images. I really like the gas station shot. It reminds me of a series of photographs I saw once by a European photographer, can't remember who, of abandoned gas stations in Europe. Anyone know who I am talking about? Vague description, I know.</p> <p>Couple of things though - first, please post up pictures of the camera! We're camera porn addicts around here. I've seen pictures of the 35SE thanks to Rick D, but always want to see more :-)</p> <p>Also, you might want to resize your photos so that they are max 700pixels on the long end - this allows you to post inline and also add captions below the image.</p> <p>Finally, I appreciate your style - very "SP" like.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Seaman Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 <p>Good to hear about the gas stations with clean toilets, much better than the other kind!<br> Thanks for posting, it's always interesting to see different parts of the world through the eyes of those who live there, and not just the tourist places.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 <p>Ah, my campaign to promote the Fujicas seems to be working! Nice post, <strong>Vasudevan</strong>; I just love seeing such graphic photographs of cultures and place unfamiliar to me. The very fine "Coconut Tree at Home" image shows the 3D quality these lenses seem to produce. More pics, please!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_foreman1 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 <p>Don'T you just hate that when customs lands on you too! It seems random. I'm being told if the commercial value is under X then it's not worth them bothering... This seems a fallacy even low ticket items get charged now too here in Germany.<br> Wow those Gas stations look right out europe, only they are full of cars and trucks! Cool Toilet advertising! It is good to get a clook at culture. That restaurant has a strong "Veg" clientèle!! I think the tree is really well done! We do need our camera photos!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Collins Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 <p>Wonderful pics, Vasudevan! They really showcase the wonderful lens on that camera, one of my favorite lenses of <em>any </em>rangefinder. Fujicas are awesome cameras with a quality and feel that you seldom find these days. Thanks for a great post and for sharing your corner of the world.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 <p>Nice pics.</p> <p>Second vote for</p> <blockquote> <p>Also, you might want to resize your photos so that they are max 700pixels on the long end - this allows you to post inline and also add captions below the image.</p> </blockquote> <p>To get them to display they can only be a maximum of 700 pixels in max dimension, and you not only <em>can</em>, but MUST put in a caption for them to display in the post.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vasudevan_navneeth Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 <p>Kayam - Thanks. will post pics of the camera soon & thanks for reminding me to keep pics under 700 megapixels. The brew is "SP" patent and i started using a couple of FSU rangefinders at home/film cameras after reading one of his posts, John - Thanks. Amenities are slowly getting better in the outskirts. These pics were taken on the Bangalore - Chennai highway which is a high traffic density/popular route , Rick - Your campaign is surely working. Thanks. Very nice camera indeed!, Chuck - Thanks. First time i had to pay duty and certainly a irritant, Andy - Thanks, JDM - Thanks will remember to post pics under 700 megapixels </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_lockerbie Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 <p>Great to see these shots, and also nice to see these Fuji rangefinders growing in popularity, they deserve it!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 <p>Great shots. I haven't gotten around to collecting any Fuji full frame 35's yet, though I do have a Fujica Half and a Fuji GS 645S. I remember seeing ads for the Fujica 35SE and others in some back issues of Popular Photography. By the time my family opened a camera shop in 1974 the only Fujica cameras that we sold were the M42 mount SLR's (and later X mount models.)<br> Great shots and thanks for sharing.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
