This camera was called the 'AF-1 Twin' in some countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's how it was reviewed in the March 1988 issue of \u003cem\u003ePopular Photography:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"How do you get 35mm wide-angle and 70mm tele lenses into a \"superbly compact,\" weatherproof point-and-shoot 35? Olympus does it with a \"unique bi-axial optical system” -in other words, with mirrors (see diagram). It may not be obvious, but both the front-element-focusing 70mm f\/6.3 tele and the unit-focusing 35mm f\/3.5 wide-angle mounted below it have separate, inter-lens, programmed electronic shutters that fire simultaneously for every exposure. The position of the bottom mirror (it's controlled by the focal-length selector) determines which lens gets to take the picture. The tele has an aspheric element in its rear optical group. As befits a leading-edge design, the Infinity Twin's sleek, pocketable body contains all modern conveniences that include autoloading, autorewind, continuous wind from 1.5 to 4 frames per second autoexposure, DX from ISO 50 to 3200, LCD frame counter, one- or two-shot electronic self-timer, and a bright frame finder with focus and flash-ready LEDs.Its 16-step IR autofocus system gets down to 2½ feet, and the built-in flash comes on when needed, recycling in a claimed 3 seconds in single-shot mode, 1 second (at lower output) in continuous mode. The Twin is lithium-powered and \"'weatherproof to JIS grade 4, which means it's splashable but not submersible.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis camera requires two CR123 batteries (available as an option).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe camera is in very good working condition but shows some cosmetic wear on its body, most notably the silkscreened lettering is quite worn off (see photos); this is purely a cosmetic blemish as the sliding cover protected the lens.
