The Olympus AF-1 Twin is a compact camera. It was presented by Olympus in the late 80s and sold under the name "Olympus Infinity Twin" in the USA.
The Olympus AF-1 Twin is designed for 35mm film. It is black in color and its design is strongly inspired by the Olympus AF-1.
The special feature of the camera is its lens, or rather the two lenses. It has two superimposed lenses with different focal lengths (35 mm f3.5 and 70 mm f6.3).
Now, if you want to shoot a distant subject, you switch to the 70 mm lens. In short, a very simple zoom. Another special feature at the time was the water resistance of the Olympus AF-1 Twin.
Otherwise, it is very similar to other compact cameras of the time. Thus, it works practically without much intervention from the photographer. It finds out the film speed by DX coding, then it sets the exposure by itself and the film is also transported automatically.
A CR123 3V battery (eBay / Amazon*) serves as the power source. A tripod mount is used for low-light shooting, and a self-timer can also be turned on.
When you're done shooting, a cover, like the one on the Olympus XA, slides in front of the lenses and viewfinder. The Olympus AF1 Twin was manufactured in Japan.
In principle, all available 35mm film can be used in the Twin. However, the camera only recognizes the sensitivity for films between ISO 50 and ISO 3200. A good color film for the camera is the Kodak Ultramax 400*. If you're more into black and white, you can go for the solid Kentmere 100*. Both films are a good choice for the camera. You can usually fit 36 images on a roll, so in some cases even one or two images more.
The Olympus AF-1 Twin also has a little sister, the Olympus AF-10 Twin.
