(Black's was a chain of camera shops in Canada that operated from 1930 until 2015). The Insight 105 is an advanced 35mm point-and-shoot from the 1990s. This curiously overlooked gem is one of our favourite cameras from its era. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Insight 105 features a 38-105mm lens that's very sharp for a zoom point-and-shoot. It was a fairly expensive camera when new (MSRP of the Samsung version was listed as $499USD in \u003cem\u003ePopular Photography\u003c\/em\u003e) and accordingly has deluxe features like: 48 AF zones; a 40cm 'super macro' mode; multiple exposure capability; automated interval shooting; and support for a very wide range of films (ISO 25-3200). The original box, case and user manual included. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBattery information\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis camera requires two CR123 batteries (available as an option).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manual doesn't give a battery life estimate but notes then the battery icon on the LCD changes to show depletion, there should be capacity for about 3 more rolls of film. The manual also notes that cold weather can cause temporary battery exhaustion (where the batteries will start working again when they warm up). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pentax Zoom 105 (a comparable camera that uses the same batteries) gives an estimated battery life of 30 24-exposure rolls of film if the flash is used 50% of the time. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis camera was tested with batteries and a roll of film (the film was not developed). All modes are working correctly. The camera's true film-plane focus accuracy was verified on an auto-collimator and its auto-exposure was tested with a shutter tester and calibrated light source. The camera is in good cosmetic condition (see photos). The included box and user manual show some wear (see photos). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExample photos\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere are some photos that other people have taken with the Insight 105 (showing the more commonly found Samsung branded versions):\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.lomography.com\/cameras\/3337029-samsung-af-zoom-1050\/photos\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.lomography.com\/cameras\/3337029-samsung-af-zoom-1050\/photos\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.lomography.com\/cameras\/3336023-samsung-maxima-zoom-105\/photos\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.lomography.com\/cameras\/3336023-samsung-maxima-zoom-105\/photos\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManual\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cameramanuals.org\/samsung\/samsung_af_zoom_1050.pdf\"\u003ehttps:\/\/cameramanuals.org\/samsung\/samsung_af_zoom_1050.pdf\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee pages 38-40 in the manual.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67629819035936,"sku":"NWP-PNS-Blacksinsight105-20261002","price":82.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0265\/4401\/3398\/files\/newwavepool_blacks_insight_zoom_105_aka_samsung_afzoom105s_pns_serial_1541839_KR_20261003_14_1ffb5b71-5925-4c25-9b02-809a4d21bcf0.jpg?v=1791003022","url":"https:\/\/www.newwavepool.shop\/products\/blacks-samsung-insight-zoom-105-35mm-camera-w-box-case-and-manual-serial-1541839","provider":"New Wave Pool","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
