Samsung Fino 70S

The Samsung Fino 70S is a snapshot camera for analogue photographers.

The zoom lens of the Samsung Fino 70S cannot be replaced. The name of the manufacturer for the lens is “Samsung Zoom Lens 38-70mm Auto Macro”. The focal length range is 38mm to 70mm and the maximum aperture is 38mm at f/4.8. It has a built-in autofocus system.

The built-in light meter makes it easier to measure the exposure. It is designed for films in a range from ISO 50 to ISO 3200. The camera reads the ISO value via the DX code on the cartridge. The exposure is set automatically by the camera.

The 35 mm camera comes with a bulb setting option. In this mode, the shutter is opened as long as the shutter release button is pressed. The camera comes with a built-in flash. With ISO 100 film, it reaches up to 5 metres. It has also a built-in self-timer and a thread for a tripod.

The camera weighs 210 grams. The dimensions are 12.3 x 6.7 x 4.3 cm. Power is supplied by a CR123A battery (eBay / Amazon*).

films for the Samsung Fino 70S

Photo film is required for the Samsung Fino 70S. Films for the 35mm format are needed. The 35mm format is very common, therefore there are still some manufacturers and many development laboratories. Possible films for the Samsung Fino 70S are the Agfaphoto Vista 400* for colour photos and the AgfaPhoto APX 400* for b/w photos.

The colour film is developed in the C-41 process. C-41 films can be developed by most photographic laboratories. A development of a 35mm colour film is possible e.g. at most drugstore chains in Germany.

The production of the model was finished and today you can only buy it used. The value of a used copy is mainly measured by its condition and functionality.
