Today we will take a look at the lens barrier design of an auto-focus film compact camera released by OLYMPUS in 1983.
OLYMPUS AFL (Reference product)
The lens barrier protects the lens when not shooting.
Slide the lower part of the lens to open the barrier.
The lower part opens using the upper part as a fulcrum.
You can get ready to shoot in this way.
Today we have a lens barrier design from OLYMPUS’ 1983 release of an auto-focus compact camera.
Lens barriers are used in regular compact cameras, but I liked this very unusual way of opening the barrier!
The design is similar to the grip and I thought it was very cool.
We will continue to introduce various discoveries of film compact cameras in the future, so please look forward to it!
