Olympus's 2001 long-reach 35mm compact — 4.2x 38-160mm zoom, motorised film handling, auto flash.

The Superzoom 160 was announced by Olympus in February 2001 near the top of its Superzoom range of 35mm autofocus compacts, which in the US market overlapped with the Accura branding. Its 38-160mm lens gave it the longest reach of the mainstream Superzoom compacts, and it was also sold in a 160G trim with gold-toned styling.

The 4.2x zoom spans 38-160mm, kept compact through an aspherical lens element that Olympus claimed made it the smallest body in its lens class, with a maximum aperture in the region of f/5.7 at the wide end slowing towards f/12.3 at full telephoto. Autofocus works from about 0.7m to infinity, film advance and rewind are motorised, and a built-in automatic flash and self-timer complete the package; power comes from a lithium cell.

It suits shooters who want real telephoto pull from a pocketable film compact for candids and tighter portraits. The slow aperture at the long end means the camera leans on its flash indoors and demands fast film in anything but bright light, which is the standard trade-off of long-zoom 35mm compacts.

Like most powered zoom compacts it will not fire without a healthy lithium battery, so test power-up, zoom travel to the full 160mm mark and flash charge before buying. Listen to the motor wind through a frame, check the film-door seals for stickiness, and make sure the clamshell-era lens barrier or lens front is clean, as haze noticeably softens long-zoom compacts.
