Fujica Half 35mm Half-Frame Camera with 28mm f2.8 Lens
Description:
We have a soft spot for this one. The Fujica Half is a proper little classic from the 1960s, built with all-metal construction and a sharp 5-element Fujinon lens that still delivers excellent results today. The big appeal here is the half-frame format: each roll of 36 gives you 72 shots, which makes it a great camera to carry every day without worrying about burning through film. It shoots in portrait orientation by default, and the pairs of images you get on each frame make for some really natural diptychs. Focusing is simple with three zone presets (portrait, group, and infinity), so it is quick to use once you get the feel for it. A solid, fun camera for anyone who wants to shoot more and spend less per roll.
Specs:
- Shutter Speed: 1/30 to 1/300s + Bulb
- Lens: 28mm f/2.8 Fujinon (5 elements)
- Focus: Zone focus (3 presets: portrait, group, infinity)
- Modes: Aperture priority auto with full manual override
- Main Advantage: Half-frame format doubles your shot count, sharp Fujinon lens, all-metal build
Battery: No battery required as it is fully mechanical.
Due to the age of this camera and the nature of old light meters we can’t guarantee that the light meter still works. This isn’t an issue as the camera will function perfectly without batteries. To meter a scene before taking a picture we recommend using an external light meter or for you to take our online course that will teach you how to use a film camera without the use of any external tools.
