Fuji DL-900 Zoom 35mm camera w/ case (serial 60215434)
The Fuji DL-900 (aka Discovery 900) is an advanced 35mm point-and-shoot from the early 1990s. It features a sharp 38-80mm and wide array of shooting modes plus metering support for films rated between ISO 50 and ISO 1600.
The original padded Fuji case is included.
Battery information
This camera is powered by a CR-P2 lithium battery (available as an add-on).
According to the manual, "A new lithium battery pack will provide about 1000 shots, including 500 with flash (as tested according to Fuji's battery testing procedure)".
Condition notes
The camera is in very good functional and aesthetic condition (see photos). It was tested with a battery and film installed and all functions are working correctly. In addition, we verified the camera's film plane focus with an autocollimator and its autoexposure accuracy with a calibrated light source and shutter analyzer.
