Konica Zoom 1135N 35mm point-and-shoot camera (serial 6628975)
Konica Zoom 1135N 35mm point-and-shoot camera (serial 6628975)
After going down a multi-hour research rabbit hole, we finally realized the mysterious Konica Zoom 1135N is basically a renamed Z-Up 110VP with subtle cosmetic changes and no date imprinting option. It's a great little camera with a number of handy features (eg backlight compensation, flash cancel, exposure compensation, and force infinity focus) and a 38-110mm zoom range. In addition, it meters a broad range of film speeds (ISO 25-3200) so it's a good choice for people who like the option of shooting with specialty films like Kodak TMax P3200.
This camera requires a CR123 lithium battery (available as an option).
Condition notes
The camera was tested with a battery and film installed and performed well (the film was not developed). We verified the camera's focus accuracy on an autocollimator. The camera is in excellent cosmetic condition (see photos).

Here are some photos that other people have taken with the Z-up 110 (which we believe is the same camera with only cosmetic differences):
