Samsung AF Zoom 105S 35mm camera w/ case (serial 97403048)
The Samsung AF Zoom 105S (also sold as the AF Zoom 1050) is an advanced 35mm point-and-shoot from the 1990s. This curiously overlooked gem is one of our favourite cameras from its era.
The AF 105S features a 38-105mm lens that's exceptionally sharp for a zoom point-and-shoot. It was an expensive camera when new (MSRP was listed as $499USD in Popular Photography) 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).
Battery info
This camera requires two CR123 batteries (available as an option). The original case is included.
Condition Notes
This camera (serial 97403048) 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 very good cosmetic condition (see photos).
