Samsung Maxima 45AF 35mm film camera w/ case (serial 98300252) | film🎞tested

The Samsung Maxima 45AF (called the FIno 45 in some countries) is a high quality and very compact 35mm film point-and-shoot camera from the late 1990s. This Samsung camera is a strong performer and, like the earlier AF Slim, is quite clearly inspired by Konica's Big Mini (its form factor isn't quite as close as the AF Slim but it delivers results that are in our opinion very comparable). 

Battery info

This camera requires a CR123A lithium battery (available as an option).

Condition Notes

We film tested this camera and it delivered sharp, correctly exposed negatives; all its modes are working. The camera is in good cosmetic condition except for some paint wear (see photos). Please note that the colour cast in the sample photos is due to the use of expired Kodak Vision 3 film and home processing not the camera itself.
