[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I?m offering for sale my 100% unblemished, original/ complete, fully functioning, titanium body Fuji TX-1 panorama camera (#9010204 ) w/ an interchangeable , Fujinon 45/f4 lens that has no flaws, defects or scratches. It comes with a: 49mm dia. center filter ($300 value) for slide film, hood, lens cap, aftermarket LED light level, secure aftermarket plastic foam lined case, original strap, OP/TECH brand neoprene strap, photocopied/ printed instructions, and extra batteries. ? It's still the world?s only truly dual-format 35mm camera system which can be easily switched back- and-forth from panorama to normal size images. The 24 X 65 mm width of the full panoramic images is similar to that of medium format. It produces great results in either mode w/ black & white or color standard 35mm film canisters. It features auto- advance with aperature priority TTL (through the lens) metering in either AE (auto exposure) or manual mode and MF (manual focus). It also has an auto-load and auto- rewind feature at the end of the roll. The viewfinder is bright and clear, it?s only slightly bigger and heavier than my vintage Canon RFs, and fits fine in a standard RF/ SLR bag. It takes superb images. It is exactly the same camera as the Hasselblad Xpan I, but with a more durable, ?champagne? color finish. Introduced in 1998, these cameras were sadly discontinued by Fuji/ Hasselblad in 2006 ?only due to the lead solder in the electronic circuit boards running afoul of ?EU environmental regulations regarding the disposal of? hazardous waste. ?Sales of this camera were reportedly good at the time of discontinuation. Only 50 actuations currently show on the counter and the whole kit looks brand new!? I bought it about 3 years ago and have put maybe 2-3 rolls thru it. With a ton of other RF and SLR gear, I just haven?t used it enough to justify keeping it. My price is only $1,950, shipped free to by 100% safe/ insured, trackable, EMS International postal to your doorstep anywhere in the world in approx. 5-6 days. ?I'll take PayPal from a verified account, bank money order, bank wire transfer or certified check in USD and can furnish many vintage watch buy/sell references upon request. My PayPal ID is ein-ljh at hanmail.net This is not a ?distress? sale, so please no ?tire kickers? or ?low ballers?; only serious buyers are asked to inquire. INSPECTION PERIOD: 7 days- if you feel the camera is not as described, you may return it in the same condition and pay insured, EMS return shipping. ?
