1.974,27 kr

Description:

The Auto 3001 was released in 1987 at a price higher than many SLRs of the time, and the New York Times called it "at the top of its class" when it launched. The big talking point is the autofocus system: three infrared beams covering 16 focus zones, which makes it significantly more accurate at locking onto off-centre subjects than most point and shoots from the same era. It also switches automatically into macro mode for close-up shots, which is a handy touch. The 35mm f/2.8 lens is sharp and produces good, natural colours, and the motor is impressively quiet for a camera with automatic film advance. The sliding lens cover turns the camera on, doubles as a grip, and protects the lens when closed. A genuinely capable compact that often gets overlooked in favour of pricier alternatives, but competes comfortably with them.
