Innovation and Resistance
The Olympus AF-1 features a rugged, weather-resistant design that can withstand harsh conditions like rain, dust and sand, making it an ideal choice for outdoor photography. Its Zuiko 35mm f/2.8 lens delivers exceptional image quality with superb definition. With its precise autofocus and innovative shutter, which has 80% fewer parts than a conventional shutter, it captures sharp images in a wide range of lighting conditions.
The ESP exposure metering module was particularly innovative for its time, using two cells under the lens to assess exposure and automatically manage the flash, even in backlit situations. In addition, the camera offers optional add-ons to convert the lens to telephoto or macro, adding additional flexibility for various shooting situations.

Film photography allows you to physically hold your photos and negatives, providing a more tactile and memorable experience. Each photo becomes a unique object that you can keep and cherish.
Shooting on film encourages you to think and plan each shot carefully. This develops your photography skills and teaches you to be more attentive to detail.
Using a film camera connects you to a long tradition of photography. You are using a technology that has captured historic moments and has been practiced by generations of photographers before you.
With film, you focus on the moment without being distracted by the screen and digital settings. This allows you to better appreciate and capture the essence of each moment.
