Olympus's long-reach 35mm compact of 1999 — 38-140mm f/4-11 zoom, 5-point passive multi-AF, CR123A power

The Olympus Superzoom 140S was a fully automatic 35mm autofocus compact from 1999, sitting near the top of the Superzoom line thanks to its long 140mm reach. It followed the pattern of the series: a chunky ergonomic body, motorised everything and a real-image zoom viewfinder, aimed at family and travel photographers who wanted one camera for every situation.

The lens is a 38-140mm f/4-11 zoom with 10 elements in 8 groups, driven by a programmed electronic shutter and fully automatic exposure. Focusing uses a 5-point passive multi-autofocus system that can handle off-centre subjects without focus lock, though locking remains possible. Film loading, advance and rewind are motorised, and DX coding reads ISO 50-3200. Power comes from one CR123A lithium cell and the body weighs about 250g.

The multi-point passive AF was a real step up from single-beam compacts, making the 140S better at off-centre compositions and portraits than most rivals of its class. The dim f/11 telephoto end leans on flash indoors, so it is happiest outdoors with 200-400 speed film, and its handling suits beginners who want zoom flexibility without any manual settings.

Everything on this camera is battery-driven, so test that a fresh CR123A powers it up, the zoom travels the full range and the flash recycles. Listen to the motor wind for grinding, check the film-door seals and the LCD frame counter for missing segments, and fire the shutter at both zoom extremes; CR123A cells remain easy to buy.
