Nikon Tele Touch Deluxe

The Nikon Tele Touch Deluxe, also known as Nikon TW2, is a sought-after snapshot camera. This analog camera was designed by Nikon and debuted in the 1980s.

This model features two fixed lenses with focal lengths of 35 mm and 70 mm. With a maximum aperture of f/3.5 or f/6.8, the lenses consist of 4 elements in 3 groupings and 8 elements in 6 groupings. The automatic focusing makes handling easier, while the closest focusing distance is 69 cm.

With its integrated exposure meter, the Tele Touch Deluxe adjusts the sensitivity using the film cassette’s DX code. This camera does the work for you by independently controlling the aperture and exposure time.

The integrated flash device guarantees sufficient lighting for every snapshot, and with a self-timer and tripod socket it offers additional flexibility. It weighs just 310 grams and has compact dimensions of 13.6 x 7.2 x 4.6 cm. When it was introduced, it stood out as the slimmest camera of its kind with autofocus and dual lenses. It works with a DL223 battery (eBay / Amazon*), which is still readily available today.

Film selection for the Tele Touch Deluxe

Are you wondering which film you should use for the Tele Touch Deluxe? This model is compatible with 35mm film, which is still easy to obtain and develop today. It offers an exposure area of 24 mm x 36 mm and advances the film automatically.

For vivid color photographs, the Kodak Portra 400* is recommended. On the other hand, if you prefer a monochrome aesthetic, the Ilford Delta 400* is a good choice. While the color film is developed using the C-41 process, which is offered in almost every photo shop, the black and white film requires special treatment in the appropriate developer.

Please note that production of this 35mm analog camera has already been discontinued. The price for a Tele Touch Deluxe varies depending on the condition, but you should plan on average between 40 and 50 euros.
