Samsung Evoca 70SE 35mm film camera (serial 91305986)

The Samsung Evoca 70 SE is a compact 35mm camera that features a quality Schneider-Kreuznach Variplan 35-70mm lens. This camera was also sold as the Rollei Prego 70 and the Samsung Vega 77i.

In testing we found the camera very easy to use. The only criticism we had with the camera's design is that the power button on the top is quite small and needs to be pressed firmly to switch on (this might be annoying for people with large hands). 

Battery information

This camera requires a CR2 lithium battery (available as an option). Samsung didn't give a battery life estimate but noted 'battery performance is reduced in low temperatures (under -10ºC/19F)'. 

Condition Notes

The camera is in good condition both in the terms of cosmetics (see photos) and functionality. All modes are working correctly.
