Nikon Zoom 500AF 35mm camera with case
The Nikon Zoom 500AF is a compact, high quality Japanese-made 35mm film point-and-shoot camera.
It features a 38-105mm f/3.5-9.2 lens and the following shooting modes: auto (uses flash when appropriate); flash cancel; force flash (for backlit scenes); red-eye reduction; Slow synch flash (for creating the effect of a sharp image to trails); landscape (prevents auto focus from getting 'fooled' by foreground objects); and a self-timer.
This camera requires a CR123A lithium batter for power (optional). The original Nikon leather case is included.
Condition notes
The camera was tested with a battery and film installed and performed well (the film was not developed). We needed to replace the little plastic cover over the LCD display on the top of the camera (see photos), otherwise it is in excellent cosmetic condition.
