AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Up for auction: a fascinating and rare medium-format single-lens reflex camera—the Fujita 66—produced in Japan by Fujita Kōgaku Kikai starting in the late 1950s.

The lot presents in good overall condition, with normal signs of use and storage consistent with the object's age, and is complete with its standard Fujitar lens.

Optics: The camera mounts the original standard lens F.C. Fujitar 1:3.5 f=80mm, equipped with its vintage anti-reflective coating. The lenses appear in good overall visual condition, free of scratches or mold and internal fungus traces. The identification markings on the front barrel are clear and legible.

Mechanical: The lot has been tested and is operable. The focal-plane mechanical shutter responds correctly to commands and fires at the various speeds set via the top knob. The large textured side knob dedicated to manual film advance and mechanical cocking turns smoothly.

Aesthetics: Good overall condition, as clearly documented by the photographs. The solid metal camera body preserves a strong vintage visual impression, showing the normal and widespread surface signs of age and minimal localized hazing on the upper satin-finish surfaces.

Tracked international shipping, fully insured and professionally super-protective packing to ensure maximum safety during transit.
