Olympus Infinity Zoom 200 35mm camera w/ manual and remote control
The Olympus Infinity Zoom 200 (also called the AZ-200) is a quality 35mm zoom point and shoot from 1989. It features a nice 38-80mm zoom lens and excellent control of its built-in flash. December 1999 issue of Popular Photography featured a write-up on the Infinity Zoom 200, highlighting the flash modes, it called this "the first compact zoom camera in the history of flash photography to significantly reduce red-eye."
This camera requires two CR123 lithium batteries (optional).
Condition notes
We tested all camera functions with film and batteries installed (the film was not processed) and everything was working well. We verified the camera's film plane focus accuracy on an autocollimator. The camera is in very good condition as well with the exception of a hairline crack on the camera's side (purely a cosmetic flaw, it's not in a light sensitive area) which we glued with epoxy (see photos).
