Fujica MA-1 35mm film camera
History and Presentation of the Device: 📷
The Fujica MA-1 is an entry-level plastic camera, which is the improved version of the M-1 presented at Photokina in 1982. It has a decidedly retro look, reminiscent of a time when photography was simpler and authentic. With its 42mm Fujinon fixed lens and minimalist design, it embodies simplicity at its best.
The camera is characterized by an unconventional aperture setting, represented by two weather symbols: sun (f/11) and clouds (f/8), in addition to a position for the flash. The shutter speed is unique: 1/100 second, ideal for capturing moments frozen in time. In flash mode, the focus automatically adjusts to optimize photo quality given the limited range of the flash.
It is cocked using a dial, while the rectangular green trigger adds a touch of nostalgia to the whole thing. The Fujica MA-1 comes in various colors, including dark blue and bright red from 1985.

Film photography allows you to physically hold your photos and negatives, providing a more tactile and memorable experience. Each photo becomes a unique object that you can keep and cherish.
Shooting on film encourages you to think and plan each shot carefully. This develops your photography skills and teaches you to be more attentive to detail.
Using a film camera connects you to a long tradition of photography. You are using a technology that has captured historic moments and has been practiced by generations of photographers before you.
With film, you focus on the moment without being distracted by the screen and digital settings. This allows you to better appreciate and capture the essence of each moment.
