Nikon Zoom Touch 400 35mm camera w/ case and manual (serial 5567905)
The Nikon Zoom Touch 400 (called the TW Zoom 35-70 in some countries) is a high quality 35mm point-and-shoot camera from the early 1990s.
The Zoom Touch 400 requires a CR-P2 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 also tested the camera's film plane focus accuracy and resolving power on an autocollimator and found it be exceptionally sharp. We found that the film rewinding in this model is quite loud so bear that in mind when using the camera in public. The camera is very good cosmetic condition (see photos). The original padded case and manual are included and in excellent condition.
