The Fujica STX-1 was manufactured by Fuji in the late seventies and early eighties and was its entry-level SLR during that time. It was introduced in the US in 1979. The cloth focal plane shutter is mechanical type, with a maximum speed of 1/700 second flash sync and 1/60 of a second. The minimum speed is 1/2 second and the camera includes an adjustment of the bulb with connecting cable trigger. The selected shutter speed is displayed along the left side of the viewer through a mechanical linkage. Preview control DOF is present, conveniently placed on the front of the camera by the lens. All about the STX-1 is manual. No program modes available. The camera needs a battery, but only to operate the meter. Compatible batteries: Two alkaline manganese batteries type LR44; mercury batteries type HR44; silver oxide batteries type SR44. The light meter STX-1 is an analog moving coil type, whose operation is scaled by the settings of shutter speed and aperture of the camera. It appears on the right side of the viewfinder. Subsequent model STX-1n has a meter consisting of several small LEDs, but the overall effect of these is quite vague in comparison with the previous analog meter. The other change in the STX-1n is a redesigned battery hatch. The STX-1 has a mount Fujica X, which is compatible with lenses Fujica X. Although often difficult to find a decent selection of these lenses are available at online auction sites. STX-1 was also sold by Porst in Germany, such as CR-1.
