Motorized Point & Shoot from 1988 with flash. Has two lenses built in — 35mm and 70mm, and when switching between them a mirror flips inside the camera to direct the image from the tele lens (or not) to the film. Lots of mechanical stuff to go wrong!

Here’s more info on the camera

Shot a roll of Fuji C200 (seems to be made by Kodak), 26 exposure, expires July, 2025.

Patuxent Branch Trail, Jessup, Maryland, USA — trail along the Patuxent Branch where there used to be a branch railroad to a rock quarry 100 years ago, now Interstate 95 crosses the valley on really tall bridges.

Easy camera to use — motor advance is noisy, switching lenses is really noisy (VF adjusts also)! And 35mm vs. 70mm isn’t that drastic. But both lenses produce decent images — and even in daylight the flash is pretty bright! I think some of the shots are blurry because of motion blur since the lenses are not that fast and the camera probably shifted down to slower shutter speeds, and some I might have exceeded the minimum focusing distance.

Pssst! I have one of these for sale on my For Sale post/list under the Point & Shoot category….
