A nice and complete close-up lens for the Fujica ST701 35mm SLR camera, still in its original box with instructions. Supplementary close-up lenses like this were an affordable way for photographers to achieve macro-style close-up photography without investing in a dedicated macro lens — they attach directly to the camera's existing lens and reduce the minimum focusing distance, enabling detailed shots of small subjects. Finding one complete with original packaging is increasingly uncommon.

Condition

• Lens: Good condition — no marks or damage.
• Box & instructions: Present but showing some wear — please see photos for full condition detail.

Provenance

• Maker: Fujifilm (Fuji Photo Film Co. Ltd), Japan — one of Japan's most respected optical and photographic manufacturers. The Fujica ST701, introduced in 1970, was a significant camera in Fujifilm's history as the world's first SLR to use a silicon photo diode (SPD) for its light meter, offering faster and more accurate metering than the selenium cells used by competitors.
• Compatibility: Designed for the Fujica ST701 35mm SLR. May also be compatible with other Fujica M42 mount cameras depending on filter thread size.
• Function: Supplementary close-up lens — attaches to the front of the camera lens to enable close-up and macro-style photography without a dedicated macro lens.
• Appeal: A practical original accessory for Fujica ST701 owners and M42 system collectors — the complete original packaging makes this a particularly tidy example.
