The camera can sense when the remote isn’t there, and will activate a small red light on the front of the camera.

It came in a case, which has begun disintegrating during the six months that I’ve owned it – they fit perfectly into the larger late-era Olympus Trip cases, if you are wondering.

The effect was popular in the 1970s and ’80s, for some reason, and while I don’t necessarily understand it, I can say that the Sure Shot Tele’s filter works well.

Who needs the hassle of changing shutter speeds and apertures when you can have the best of both worlds with a point-and-shoot? And unlike so many of the cameras of the point and shoot class, the XL won’t fit into a pocket or seemingly disappear when not in use.One is a self-timer while the other winds back the film before you’ve finished it, should you want to do that. The buttons sit where they should, the grip is large and sure, and the camera feels balanced and natural. Contemporary film photographers argue that the process of shooting film invites a person to slow down; while a snapshot camera challenges this idea. The only manual feature of this camera is the ISO, which is found underneath the lens with the window on top. Well the K400 is over exposed so I suspect it actually might be setting to 100 and 200 relying on the flexibility of colour film to cope but not with a traditional film.

Yes, the European market equivalent is the Prima AF-8 which can complicate things even further regarding the name of this camera. I had a similar camera for a hot sec, the Minolta Freedom Tele, which Leica repackaged as the AF-C1.
