Power Zoom Multi-AF 28-120mm (4.3x) f5.6-12.8 6-Elements/5-groups lens.
Auto Film loading, transport, and rewind. Mid-roll rewind available.
Date/Time stamp. 7 flash modes. Self Timer. Remote control.
Diopter Corrected viewfinder. Selectable “Panoramic” mode.
Aluminum front body shell. DX ISO coding 25-3200.

I just like the fact it has 28mm on the short end of the zoom. And now that I know it is not always in Panorama mode (d’oh!), it might just join with my Canon Sure Shot Z135 more often.

Low distortion, and little vignetting from a 28mm zoom lens. But then it is quite slow too. And there is the occasional light leak from the tubus. Shot on Kodak BW400CN.

I may have to keep this one. It came in a large lot with a case, and strap.

Very nice shots and camera.

I have been looking for one of these for a long time. They don't turn up very often. Nice catch.
 
This and 24W are visually very appealing cameras. And your panoramas remind me they can be made without specialized cameras like xpan.
