Fujica MPF105Xn and EBC X-Fujinon 50mm f1.2 DM

I just finished up replacing the light seals on a Fujica MPF105Xn. While the MPF105Xn is nothing special, it's definitely a nice little manual exposure camera. There's very little information on the Internet about the MPF105Xn; likely due to Fujica getting out of the SLR business a few years after its introduction. The main reason for acquiring and refurbishing the MPF105Xn was to attach a mint condition EBC X-Fujinon 50mm f1.2 DM lens. It's not often you run into a fast lens such as this one, so I definitely want to shoot a roll or two to compare results to a Canon FD 50mm f1.2 lens. In contrast to their camera bodies, Fujica EBC Fujinon lenses were quite competitive in their day and compared favorably to the big names in 35mm gear such as Nikon, Canon, and Minolta. The internet archive wayback machine has some basic information about Fujica M42 and X-mount equipment.
