I?m offering for sale my 100% unblemished, original/
complete, fully functioning, titanium body Fuji TX-1 panorama camera 
(#9010204 ) w/ an interchangeable ,
Fujinon 45/f4 lens that has no flaws, defects or scratches. It comes with a: 
49mm
dia. center filter ($300 value) for slide film, hood, lens cap, aftermarket 
LED
light level, secure aftermarket plastic foam lined case, original strap, 
OP/TECH
brand neoprene strap, photocopied/ printed instructions, and extra 
batteries. ?

It's still the world?s only truly dual-format 35mm
camera system which can be easily switched back- and-forth from panorama to
normal size images. The 24 X 65 mm width of the
full panoramic images is similar to that of medium format. It produces
great results in either mode w/ black & white or color standard 35mm film
canisters. It features auto- advance with aperature priority TTL (through the
lens) metering in either AE (auto exposure) or manual mode and MF (manual
focus). It also has an auto-load and auto- rewind feature at the end of the
roll.


The viewfinder is bright and clear, it?s only slightly
bigger and heavier than my vintage Canon RFs, and fits fine in a standard RF/
SLR bag. It takes superb images. It is exactly the same camera as the 
Hasselblad Xpan I, but with a more durable, ?champagne? color finish. 
Introduced in 1998, these
cameras were sadly discontinued by Fuji/ Hasselblad in 2006 ?only due to the 
lead solder in the electronic
circuit boards running afoul of ?EU
environmental regulations regarding the disposal of? hazardous waste. ?Sales 
of this camera
were reportedly good at the time of discontinuation.


Only 50 actuations
currently show on the counter and the whole kit looks brand new!? I bought 
it about 3 years ago and have put
maybe 2-3 rolls thru it. With a ton of other RF and SLR gear, I just haven?t
used it enough to justify keeping it.


My price
is only $1,850, shipped free to by 100% safe/ insured, trackable, EMS 
international postal to your doorstep anywhere in the world in approx. 5-6 
days.
?I'll take PayPal from a verified
account, bank money order, bank wire transfer or certified check in USD and 
can
furnish many vintage watch buy/sell references upon request. My PayPal ID is 
ein-ljh at hanmail.net


This
is not a ?distress? sale, so please no ?tire kickers? or ?low ballers?; only
serious buyers are asked to inquire.



INSPECTION PERIOD: 7 days- if you feel the camera is not as described, you 
may
return it in the same condition and pay insured, EMS return shipping.

The images of the TX-1 were taken last week (the
date set on my digital P&S was incorrect) and I don't use Photoshop nor any
other photographic enhancing software.
