It was the forerunner of the mju\/Infinity Stylus series and offers similarly excellent image quality. The camera is built around a sharp Zuiko 35mm f2.8 lens (four elements in four groups) which focuses from 75cm to infinity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Af-1\/Infinity is said to have been a favorite of Andy Warhol and it's easy to see why: it's elegant and intuitive film camera that takes great photos. The only gripe we have with this well-designed camera is the lack of a flash-cancel button. The flash implementation is quite clever however, switching on automatically for both low light \u003cem\u003eand \u003c\/em\u003ebacklit situations. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBattery information\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AF-1 requires a CR-P2 6v lithium battery (available as an option). This battery is also called the BR-P2 or DL223A. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's how Olympus described the battery life in the manual:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Question: How long does the battery last?\u003cbr\u003eAnswer: Battery life is approx. 4 years (with Panasonic BR-P2), calculated using a 24-exposure roll per month, half the shots with flash. (approx. 5 years with Duracell DL 223A).\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe camera was tested with film and delivered sharp, correctly exposed images.
