Fujica 35 EE 35mm Rangefinder Camera & Case
Serial Number:487312
This is a Fujica 35 EE rangefinder camera made from 1961 by Fuji Photo Film Co
The Fujica 35-EE is the older brother of the SE, both cameras look similar main difference being the lens speed the SE has the f/2.8 45mm Fujinon lens whereas the EE has an f/1.9 45mm Fujinon lens which has shutter speeds B, 1”-1/1000 sec. There is a built-in selenium cell meter so no battery required.
The shutter release has a screwed in cable release socket. The film advance is a single stroke type located on the base of the body. On top of the advance is an emulsion reminder selection dial. The film rewind is on the left-hand shoulder of the body. A film counter is on the base along with a tripod socket. There is a depth of field scale on the top plate of the camera, which is linked to the rangefinder, and lock that must be opened before slow shutter speeds can be selected. The camera also has a viewfinder stop and go indicator comprised of two different coloured dots indicating the viability of shooting in various light levels, plus self-timer.
Viewfinder: Coincidence rangefinder integrated with a reversed Galilean viewfinder. Automatic parallax correction with projected frames and stop/go adequate/inadequate light level indicator dot

I personally rate this camera for its high-quality lens which produces very pleasing images. The camera is not light at 762g. But the build quality and classic looks make this camera a very nice collection piece.
The cosmetic condition excellent.
Shutters speeds fire across the range.
Rangefinder works.
Optics are clear and bright no fungus or misting.
The light meter is none responsive
The camera comes with original fujica case
