Nice camera and great photos! I bought my ST801 in autumn 1974 new when I was 17 and have used it ever since. I am dreading the day when that body finally packs it in. Nothing lasts forever, but my Fujica has had a good long run. I had the light seals replaced several years ago, but that's been about it. looking forward to more photos from you with that camera.
love the images! I had a st801 few years ago with EBC 50mm f1.4. Amazing combo with the cameras feel plus amazing lens sharpness and creamy bokeh. Sadly I had to sell them on 2020 becase the pandemic. Still collecting the money to buy the same combo since the camera price is pretty expensive here in Indonesia.
The ST801, alongside the Chinon CE-3, is definitely one of the most advanced 35mm cameras from that era. I'm not too sure about the ST801, but the CE-3 has a button for holding the metered exposure in memory! It doesn't have the 1/2000th of the Fujica however! Yeah, the ST801 is still one of the camera's I'm looking to add to my collection haha. Cool video man!
@@rossandhisjpegs I've seen the Marble Arch Caves, and the grave of my great-great-great-great-great-(really)-grandfather in Fermanagh. Lovely country, friendly people.
Really pleasing images. I'd probably be a bit put off by the stop-down metering compared to using a Spotmatic with the very prevalent Takumar auto lenses. BTW, did you see TTartisan has put out a pretty affordable copy of the Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 75mm f1.5 in M42? Just cool to see a collector's lens like that being made new and still for screw-mount.
@@rossandhisjpegs you probably don't have to unless they're starting to crumble or look crispy inside! there's no evidence of light leaks that I could see in your shots. lovely video!!! so great to see you in my feed again.
I'm impressed with the photos. I have just put a film through my Fujica ST606N which I bought 48 years ago. I could not afford the ST801.I enjoyed the process but took some time to get in the swing of things. Used an Ilford HP5 iso 400 and was hampered with the maximum shutter speed of 700. May buy a ST801 if I can find a decent one. I have a few M42 lenses that I have been using on my Fujifilm XT5.

I love my ST801. One of the best M42 camera.

Very nice images. It reminds me that I must go visit Northern Ireland again.
You should! It’s a great place when you know where to visit :)

Thanks for the comment. I didn’t see that but I’ll have a look…
Nice video!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🎉
Did you have to replace the light seals?
I didn’t. Should I?

@@rossandhisjpegs I just asked as I was curious. I’ve just been gifted an Olympus XA2 from my uncle and the seals had to be replaced.
