Kalimar Precision Zoom 35mm camera
Kalimar Precision Zoom 35mm camera
The Kalimar Precision Zoom is an interesting spin on the basic mechanical 35mm camera formula: it features a cleverly designed 35-55mm focus free zoom lens.
The camera uses a thumb wheel for film advance and has a switch for its flash.
Color negative film (ISO 100 to 400) is recommend for this camera. This camera requires two AA batteries (not included).
Usage note: since this is a focus free design, make sure your subject is at least 1 meter away. It should also be noted the wide-angle end of the zoom (35mm) is more forgiving for focus than the tele end (55mm).
Condition notes
The camera was tested with film and a battery installed (it was not developed however) and it is working correctly. The camera is in very good cosmetic condition (see photos).
