Introductory Paragraph The Chinon Auto Zoom Composition AF is a testament to the era when compact cameras were engineered to think for the photographer. This specific unit (S/N: 20161901) features a high-quality glass zoom lens that provides a significant 110mm reach—perfect for travel and street photography where you can't always get close to the action. The "Composition AF" system is particularly clever, helping the camera understand the layout of your shot to ensure the most important elements are in focus. Housed in a durable, ergonomic body and accompanied by its protective case, this Chinon is a rugged and dependable way to explore the beauty of 35mm film.

Condition Report Good condition. The camera body (S/N: 20161901) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its vintage age. The 38-110mm Macro Zoom lens is optically clear, free from fungus, haze, or significant scratches. The motorized zoom mechanism and film advance systems have been tested and are fully operational. The Multi-Beam AF and the integrated flash fire correctly. All buttons and the LCD screen are functional. The battery compartment is clean, and the camera comes with its original protective case.

Specialist Note "Chinon was always an innovator, and the Auto Zoom Composition AF is one of their most balanced designs. What I love about this S/N: 20161901 is the 110mm telephoto end; it’s remarkably sharp for a compact zoom and produces lovely compression in portraits. The macro mode is also surprisingly capable, allowing you to get much closer than most point-and-shoots of this size. It has a very solid, 'professional' feel to the plastics and the grip is very secure. It’s an excellent, no-nonsense tool for anyone who wants the convenience of a modern digital camera with the soul and color of real 35mm film."
