SupaSnaps Opus FF1



This was one of the first cameras Tash ever used and was probably from around the early 90s. This cheap, plastic, Made in China, 35mm point and shoot has no manual settings though it does have a built in flash. The lens is described as "focus free", which is another way of saying cheap. It's much like the "all distance" lenses of the early box cameras. It's probably f/11 or f/16. It has a single shutter speed. I don't know what it is.
It requires 2 AAA batteries to work the flash, but they aren't necessary to take photos.

This is precisely the sort of camera for films like Revolog, Dubblefilm, Yodica or Kono. These are creative, special effect films that are pre-exposed to give psychedelic colours or patterns on your negatives. They're pretty cool but you don't need a fancy SLR with some expensive Zuiko glass to shoot them.
