So elegant in fact, it was also sold with only minor cosmetic differences as the Leica Mini Zoom (and Panasonic also sold it as the model C-2200ZM). It features a sharp 35-70mm zoom lens (7 elements in 6 groups) and nice ergonomics. We're particularly fond of its zoom switch design which doubles as a mode\/frame counter LCD. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis camera requires a CR123 lithium battery (available as an option).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe camera is in good cosmetic with only minor wear (see photos) and is in excellent functional condition. We ran film through the camera and tested all modes (we did not develop the film). In addition we verified the film plane focus accuracy on an autocollimator (the lens displayed excellent sharpness and resolving power for a 35mm compact zoom lens!). The original manual is included but is in somewhat worn condition. ,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExample photos\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere are some photos that other people who taken with the Series 1 500PZ:\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/tags\/Vivitar%20Series%201%20500PZ\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/tags\/Vivitar%20Series%201%20500PZ\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: 35 mm lens shutter camera with built-in flash, zoom lens, and auto-focus\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilm format: 24 mm x 36 mm, 135 film magazine (also adapted to the panorama size)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens: 35 - 70 mm zoom lens, F4 - F7.6 (7 elements in 7 groups)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocusing: Automatic (with focus \u0026amp; infinity lock)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocusing range: 0.6 m - infinity\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShutter: Programmed electronic control\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotographic modes and exposure control (ISO 100): AUTO or Fill-in flash (Programmed auto exposure). 35 mm: F4, 1\/30 sec.
