History and technical features 

I bought this camera last year because it was very cheap and also because it looked like the ones my parents used to give me when I was a little girl, back in the 80’s! Fuji DL-10 are compact 35mm cameras, sold around 1986 and this particular one was bought in 1987 (the previous owner wrote it on the box).
It is the model which first adopts drop-in loading system, making film loading easy! It has a fixed focus system and a built-in flash, which I wasn’t able to test. For the flash to work, the camera needs a power source of 2 batteries (manganese penlight batteries).
It has a built-on lens cover and the shutter automatically locks when lens cover is closed, so you don’t have to worry about that.

Overall it’s a nice camera, and because it is so simple and small, it’s a good camera for all the Lomographers out there who like to travel light or for the ones who are just starting to get into photography.

Esta fotografia é do exemplar que possuo

Características

The Fuji DL-30 is a 1986 budget auto-focus camera, as can be seen in the modest lens specifications and the fact that it doesn't have motor drive. Instead, film is advanced using a thumbwheel and rewinds using a crank. A retracting lens barrier doubles as the on/off switch. It has a pop-up flash and supports DX coded film. A version in red was also sold called Rouge.

Fuji DL-900 Zoom Date (1990)

Fuji DL-900 Zoom Date (1990)

#229

Esta fotografia é do exemplar que possuo

Características

The DL-900 Zoom is a 35mm autofocus compact cameras from Fuji released in 1990. It is also known as the Discovery 900 Zoom Date, Zoom Cardia 900 Date and the FZ-900 Zoom Date. Versions without date were also offered as the Discovery 900 Zoom and the FZ-900 Zoom.

Fonte: camera-wiki.org

At the Photokina 1990, the DL-900 is the high end of the brand, to succeed the DL-800. It has a 38-85mm zoom, the film pre-winding (which it owes the letters DL in its name), a multi-beam autofocus, an anti red-eye device. Its minimum distance of focusing is 75cm whatever the focal length; it allows photography of documents almost in A4 size.

The DL-900 will evolve shortly after its release in DL-900 Plus. On this model a small set of cards comes with the camera and just put in a so-seemed accessory shoe with probes recognizing the cards. These last ones allow to program complementary the camera for specific situations (fill-in function for example).

Esta fotografia é do exemplar que possuo

Características

Introduced by Fuji circa 1991, the Discovery 3000 Zoom Date is an unconventionally-styled 35mm camera. It was also sold as the Fuji FZ-3000 Zoom Date and the Fuji Zoom Cardia 3000. It is held horizontally like a pair of binoculars.

Fonte: Camera-wiki.org

Especificações

It includes a sophisticated (13-element) 38–115 mm zoom lens, programmed autoexposure, and date/time imprinting into the image area. Film speeds from ISO 25–1600 are automatically set using DX coding. The motorized film transport is of the type which first fully unspools the 35mm roll; then as frames are exposed, they are rewound back into the cassette. This eliminates any risk of losing images by accidentally opening the camera.
The Discovery 3000 uses a separate optical viewfinder (rather than a reflex finder); but this zooms in parallel with the main lens to indicate the framing of the image. An integral strap surrounding the photographer's right hand helps ensure a secure grip on the camera. There is an LCD screen on the rear of the camera to indicate the settings in use.
The maximum aperture of the lens is limited to f/4.4–8.9 (depending on zoom setting). Thus a small internal electronic flash is included; and Fuji offered a dedicated external flash (using a proprietary connector), which offered more power and telephoto reach. Power for all camera functions comes from a 6-volt lithium battery.

Fujica Half (1963)

Fujica Half

Esta fotografia é do exemplar que possuo.

Características

The Fujica Half was launched in 1963, in response to the extremely popular Olympus PEN half frame cameras. The Canon Demi, another Japanese half frame, was launched the same year as the Fujica Half, with a similar body design and features. These half frame cameras were mainly designed for the point-and-shoot audience, and they all had some degree of automation, and built-in selenium or CDS meters. All three competitors featured light, compact, stylish bodies, and solid metal construction. Half frame cameras weren’t a new invention in the 1960s, but the high expense of color film (vs. B+W) back then made the film economy of 72 frames on a standard roll of film very attractive indeed. The smaller negative size makes the pictures from a half frame camera slightly grainier than a full frame 35mm camera, but not significantly so on standard prints (enough for snapshots, and far better than 110 film). They all sold extremely well in the early 1960s, which is why you can find them almost everywhere. There are a few half-frame oddities, but most of the Japanese models are pretty common, and thus inexpensive to buy today.

The price of color film steadily decreased throughout the 1960s, and full frame cameras got smaller and smaller…the Rollei 35 for one example. This combined pressure eventually eroded the half-frame market, and by 1969, most of the half frame cameras were gone, or considered obsolete.

Shutter: Seikosha-L 1/30-1/300 +B

Lens: Fujinon 28mm f/2.8, 5 elements, coated, filter thread 22.5mm

Focus: Zone Focus, with close focusing to a little under 2 feet (about 0.7m)

Aperture: f/2.8 – f/22 full click stops

Operation: a Selenium Auto mode that selects a coupled aperture and shutter combo. (Full manual control of aperture and shutter possible.)

Wind: Single stroke top-mounted lever.

Flash Sync: Yes, standard X plug. Cold shoe only.

Picture size: ‘Half-Frame’ 12x18mm, 72 pictures from a standard 135/36 film.

Selenium-cell operated. Fuji jumped into the half-frame war the same year that Canon did. In fact, their first half-frame -- the Fuji Half -- had a camera body that looked a lot like the Canon Demi. The features were similar as well. Auto or manual exposure with selenium meter next to the viewfinder. One nice feature was the aperture/shutter speed readout in the viewfinder. The scale runs from 1/250 at f22 down to 1/30 at f2.8. In auto mode, the camera selected the correct f-stop/shutter speed combination and displayed the results. In manual mode, both the aperture and the shutter speed could be set individually -- unlike the Demi. It had a 28mm (f2.8 - 22) focusing lens. Close focusing to two feet. Speeds B, 30, 60, 125, 300. Fujica Half has Self-timer and cold shoe for flash, also tripod socket and cable release socket. Film speeds of 12 to 200. PC contact.
