This is the sought-after "Big Finder" model, featuring an oversized, crystal-clear viewfinder that makes composing shots a joy—perfect for those who wear glasses or want a bright, easy view.

Key Features:

High-Quality Glass Lens: Unlike many plastic-lens compacts, this features a sharp 27mm Minolta glass lens.

The wide-angle view is perfect for landscapes, street photography, and fitting everyone into the frame at parties.

The "Big Finder": Huge, bright viewfinder for effortless point-and-shoot framing.

Fully Automatic: Motorized film loading, advance, and rewind. Just aim and shoot.

Film Tested & Verified: Fully working and verified with a roll of film. Shutter, flash, and motor drive are all 100% responsive.

Condition:

Excellent mechanical condition. The battery compartment is clean, and the optics are clear.

There is a small piece of plastic, cracked and missing, on the side covered in black tape. This is cosmetic and does not affect functionality.

The Verdict:

A stylish, reliable 90s classic that delivers sharp, high-contrast images thanks to that glass optic. Ready to load with film and start shooting immediately. Takes simple AA batteries. Reduced due to cosmetic damage.
