Olympus AF-1*
Description
Launched in 1986 as the successor to the AFL, the Olympus AF-1 was a product of intensive market research and design. It was the world’s first weather-proof camera that users could shoot without worrying about easy breakage and compromised performance. The AF-1 was also simple to use. Being a point-and-shoot camera, it can be easily taken out for quick shooting when needed — all thanks to its reliable autofocus system. Not to mention it was light and affordable: two good characteristics that any casual photographer can appreciate.
When it comes to looks, the Olympus AF-1 can be easily distinguished as one of those 1980s-era point-and-shoots: the black fit and finish are slick, the boxy shape and its rounded corners, and its lens and other components are grouped together. Lastly, the AF-1 can produce clean and crisp images with the right lighting conditions. Its 35 mm f/2.8 aperture Zuiko lens is sharp and wide enough to cover landscapes and candid shots. It is the same lens as used in the Olympus MJU II. Colors are vivid and details are also pronounced. As with any camera and lens, proper handling and practice can reveal the AF-1’s strengths in this department.
