Bell and Howell PZ4000 35mm camera (serial 02054211)
The Bell and Howell PZ400 is a budget 35mm point-and-shoot from the aughts. It a quite a nice camera for its class and well appointed with features.
It's a generally very easy camera to use but it's worth mentioning that the cameras pre-winds the film when you load it (several Fuji point-and-shoots and Canon SLRs did the same thing as it offers some advantages).
Battery information
This camera requires a CR123 lithium battery (available as an option).
Condition notes
The camera was tested with film and a battery installed (it was not developed however) and it is working correctly. In addition we verified the camera's autofocus by checking the film plane focus on an autocollimator.
