Olympus IS-300 'bridge' 35mm film SLR with 28-110 lens

The Olympus IS-300 is one of the later models in the company's series of non-interchangeable lens SLR film cameras (often called 'bridge cameras' but dubbed ZLR or 'zoom lens reflex' in Olympus literature).

It's a superb camera with a top-notch lens. The IS-300 offers aperture priority, full auto-exposure; as well as portrait, night scene, stop action, and landscape program exposure modes. It also has a dedicated exposure compensation dial with a two stop over/under range. The IS-300's autofocus performance is excellent: it's sensitive to work in EV1 at IS0 100 (dim nighttime light). 

Its grampa-core aesthetic isn't for everyone but you'd be hard pressed to find a more capable 35mm film camera in its price range. 

The camera requires two CR123A lithium batteries (optional). 

Condition notes
The camera is in very good aesthetic condition except for a ding on the filter thread (see photos). The camera was tested with a battery and film installed (the film was not developed however) and all functions are working correctly. We also verified the lens sharpness and focus accuracy on an autocollimator.
