The Fujica ST801 is a manual SLR 35mm film camera made by Fuji between 1972 and 1978. It was the first 35mm SLR to use viewfinder LEDs, replacing the traditional centre-the-needle metering, with a centre-the-light system. This electronic light metering system was developed to eliminate mechanical failure, and needle deviation caused by shocks.
