Hanimex's 1992 autofocus compact — 34mm three-element lens, DX coding, red-eye and fill-in flash
The Hanimex IC3000 is a plastic fully automatic 35mm compact made in China in 1992, sold as the autofocus step up within Hanimex's budget IC series that also included the IC 500 and IC2000. The body wears prominent Auto Focus branding and was pitched at buyers wanting a no-decision snapshot camera at a low price.
It uses a 34mm three-element lens, a single shutter speed of 1/125, and automatic exposure via a sensor beside the lens. DX film-speed reading is limited to ISO 100 and 400 films. The built-in flash is switchable, with red-eye reduction and a fill-in function for daylight use, and power comes from two AA (LR6) cells; a sliding cover protects the lens between shots.
As a simple automatic compact it suits beginners and anyone wanting an inexpensive, cheerful film camera for daylight snaps. The single shutter speed and small-aperture lens keep it honest: bright conditions or flash range are where it delivers, and its plastic build keeps weight low enough to carry anywhere.
The IC3000 depends on its batteries, so confirm it powers up on fresh AAs, the flash charges and the shutter trips before paying working-camera money. Check the sensor windows are clean and the lens cover slides properly; DX contacts and film transport are the usual failure points.
