Olympus's weather-resistant 35mm zoom compact — 35-120mm f/4.5-8.7, spot meter, DX 50-3200, CR123A, 1994.
The Superzoom 120 was a 1994 addition to Olympus's Superzoom line of 35mm autofocus compacts, slotting above the Superzoom 110 with a longer 120mm telephoto reach. Note that the similarly named Superzoom 120TC (sold elsewhere as the Infinity Superzoom 3500 DLX) is a different, later camera — the plain 120 stands on its own.
Its Olympus 35-120mm f/4.5-8.7 zoom uses ten elements in eight groups, focusing down to 0.6m. Shutter speeds run from 2 seconds to 1/500, film speed sets automatically via DX coding from ISO 50 to 3200, and metering includes a spot option for tricky light. A backlit LCD, motorised film handling, built-in flash and light weatherproofing round out a 315g, 130x68x61mm body powered by one CR123A lithium cell.
It suits film shooters who want a single pocketable camera spanning wide group shots to head-and-shoulders portraits. The spot-meter option and splash resistance are genuine step-ups for the class, though the dim f/8.7 telephoto end wants ISO 400+ film or the flash indoors, as with all long-zoom compacts of the era.
These are fully electronic cameras: nothing works without a healthy CR123A, so test power, flash charge and a complete wind-rewind cycle before relying on one. Check the zoom extends promptly through its range, the LCD shows full segments, and the back seals look intact. The weather resistance helped survival rates, but flash capacitors and zoom motors are the usual failure points.
