Good for nothing!

PERSONAL NOTES

The Fujica 35EE is, in my opinion, one of the worst camera design ever. The meter usually do not work anymore on these cameras, but you can still shoot in manual mode without the meter.

The Fujica 35EE is not like other cameras, its features are not localized where they usually are on other cameras, it can be very frustratig.

The film winder is on the bottom instead of top, the film rewind is on the side instead of top, the focus cannot be done on the lens, instead, its done with the use of a thumbwheel on the back. You can see the depth of field on the top plate, where usually the speeds are. The speeds are seen on the top of the lens. Well... Sometimes, making something different is not that great...

Be sure you look at the manual for this one.


CONCLUSION

Because of its weird design, I cannot recommend the Fujica 35EE. You could give one to some photographer friends and see if they can use it while drunk, that would be funny!
