From 1959, Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. follow-up to their widely popular Fujipet 120 film camera. The Pet 35 took advantage of the growing popularity of 35mm photography – plus it’s a great way to sell more film!
The Pet 35 was way more sophisticated than the Fujipet – but retained the funky charm and quirkiness of the original. Since the Pet 35 is not a common camera, we’ve presented a visual tour of our almost mint condition Pet 35.

Original set as found. We have the leather case too.

The lens is a Fujinar-K 3 element glass lens – 45mm with a maximum aperture of f/3.5 with closest focussing to 0.5 meters.

The lever to the right of the lens cocks the shutter and the left lever trips the Copal B leaf shutter.

The Copal shutter features speeds of B, 1/25, 1/50, 1/100 and 1/200 of a second.

In keeping with the funky design – two oversized knobs that left no doubt on how to operate them.

The body is dark gray on this Pet 35.

Outer ring is the focus adjustment, next is the shutter speed selector and finally the aperture settings.

Nicely detailed and finished.

Early 1960s Fuji Film Neopan SS – ASA 100. How about film for only ¥190!

Original selling price was ¥3,400 – the leather case sold for ¥700 and a soft case was available for ¥350

Original sales brochure specs.

The viewfinder is bright and clear – and big for such a small camera.

ASA reminder scale and film back release.

The Pet 35 is far from being a ‘toy camera’ as its build quality is quite high. No foam or yarn light seals to fail – the metal film door fit tightly into the body to seal out light.

Gotta love the Fuji Film stickers inside!

Thanks so much for your visit – we hope that you enjoyed our tour of this fantastic Fuji!
