Description from the seller
The Olympus MJU II (in the US known as the Olympus Stylus Epic) is an absolute cult classic among 35mm compact film cameras. Released in 1997, this plastic 'point-and-shoot' evolved into one of the most sought-after analog cameras on the second-hand market.
The Lens (The Prime version): The original MJU II has a fixed 35mm f/2.8 lens. For such a compact camera, this lens is incredibly sharp and high-contrast. Thanks to the maximum aperture of f/2.8 you can shoot in somewhat lower light and you can also create a beautiful, soft background blur (bokeh).
Super Compact Design: It features a so-called 'clamshell' design. By sliding the plastic sliding cover at the front open, you turn the camera on and the lens pops out. When closed, the cap protects the lens completely, allowing it to fit comfortably in your pocket.
Splash-proof (All-Weather): The camera has rubber seals around the body and the film door. It is not waterproof, but a heavy rain shower or snow shower will pass without problems.
Smart Light Metering & Autofocus: The active autofocus system works quickly and accurately (even from a distance of 35 centimeters). The metering is very reliable, so you rarely get severely under- or overexposed photos.
The LED screen isn’t as bright as it used to be. The film stand/indicator is hard to see. Otherwise fully functional.
