Both cameras share the same fast and sharp 38mm f2.8 lens and are excellent cameras for street\/party photography. In many ways the Hi Matic S2 is a more flexible camera than its auto-focus sibling; it focuses as close as 80cm and offers both pictograms for fast focusing or distances in meters\/feet for precision. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe camera is powered by two ordinary AA batteries (not included). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNote: It's a very easy camera to use but one function sometimes confuses new users: when you first load the film (and before you take your first photo), you need to crank the film advance lever repeatedly until it locks and the number 1 appears in frame counter window. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe camera (serial number 4008371) is very good cosmetic condition (see photos).
