Samsung's long-zoom Fino film compact — 38-115mm f/3.9-10.8 AF zoom, panorama mode, date back, CR123A
The Samsung Fino 115S was a late-1990s 35mm autofocus zoom compact that sat near the top of Samsung's Fino point-and-shoot range, its name taken from the 115mm long end of the lens. In North America the same camera was sold as the Maxima Zoom Evoca (also listed as Evoca Zoom 115), so UK listings under the Fino name are the European version.
It carries a 38-115mm f/3.9-10.8 3x zoom behind an automatic lens barrier, with autofocus, automatic film advance and rewind, and DX coding for ISO 50-3200 film. The flash offers auto, red-eye reduction, fill-in and off settings, and the camera adds a switchable panorama mask, quartz date imprinting, a self-timer and a wide spread of exposure modes including continuous, interval, bulb and multiple exposure.
It suits film shooters who want more telephoto reach than the typical 35-70mm compact, with enough modes to play with beyond simple snapshots. The slow f/10.8 aperture at the long end means telephoto work leans on flash or fast film indoors, so it is happiest outdoors in decent light.
The camera is fully electronic and will not fire without a healthy CR123A lithium cell, so test power first. Run the zoom through its full 38-115mm travel, confirm the flash charges promptly, check the film door and light seals, and verify the data-back LCD still displays. The panorama switch should move freely and the frame counter should reset when the back is opened.
