The way you introduce the setting -where you are, what time it is, what people go there to do- is a great way to remind us that you are in japan. It makes me know that I'm watching a special creator.

I've had one for several years, and its a very nice camera. The pros are that there is a automatic film advance, which is a big improvement over squinting into a red film number window. You just wind the film advance knob and it stops at the next frame. The lens takes sharp, contrasty but rather dark, moody pictures which can be quite impressive. The cons is that there is no double exposure lock. I can't count how many nice shots I've wasted because I took a picture, put the camera away, then took it out and shot another. With a double exposure lock, I wouldn't have been able to take another shot without winding the film to the next frame.

I originally thought it should have had a double exposure lock, but instead it seems you have to rely on the little indicator. When I serviced mine I checked and checked but couldn't see any double exposure lock. I'm in the habit of unfolding, winding then shooting since I have a number of folders that don't have any double exposure protections.

I picked up a SF6 last year and its my favorite walking camera. The shutter is easily accessible behind the front element and simple to service. I had to re-cement the rangefinder prism together which was an adventure of its own. The windowless film advance makes this camera ideal for adapting 35mm film if you're into that.

This is a really interesting camera, I really would like double exposure protection or combination advance and shutter charge. Is there a follow up on this model from yashica, something similar to a lynx1000 in terms of features?

Ok. I bought one... The bellows had lotta pinholes. I tried to fix it... I destroyed it. However it was such a good camera... I just ordered another one. Question, if we needed the bellows fixed - any Idea where we could send it?

I have one and picked up another as it was a train wreck. I've re covered the leather but managed to keep the front name embossed in the leather. I restore old cameras and the shutter has been rebuilt. The bellows were shot and camera bellows in Birmingham UK make them for me. I paid around £45 last year. I'm only just getting around to finishing it off. They are a well made camera. I've yet to film test them but I'm sure the results will be good.

Thank you soooooo much! I received a Super Fujica 6 as a gift recently and could not find any manuals in English. This video helped tremendously. Also a question, I may have missed it in the video, but is there any way to set the film speed on this camera? I loaded some 125 ISO Ilford film but do not know how to set the ISO.
@japanvintagecamera8869

There is no film speed setting on the camera, you need to set your light meter or light meter app to match the film you have loaded in the camera.

Thank you for your very helpful videos. My question is if the film winding knob does not stop can I still use the camera correctly just by stopping and the respective number of every shot and shooting the next frame? Or do I mess up the whole film? Thanks in advance for your reply! And also do not understand the red dot which appears after the film is winded to the next frame. Should it be grey after each winding?
@65PCH
Жыл бұрын
The red dot indicates you're ready to shoot. As soon as you fire the shutter it "goes grey". I wouldn't want to have to stop by each frame number without the auto-stop, though you might be able to do it at a pinch. It's a relatively simple mechanism (notched disc), so it should be fairly reliable.

@@allesklar1808 If you stick diligently to a shooting sequence (like unfold - frame the shot - wind on - cock shutter - shoot) or use some other method to remind you you should be fine. Unless you really like random double exposures ;-) It''s just an indicator, it doesn't affect the function of the camera. However fixing that part of the mechanism is not that hard, it probably just needs a clean then very light lube.
