The GAF 200 XF is a simple fixed focus snapshot camera using 126 film cartridges and accepting Magicubes for flash. While the camera's exposure settings are fixed, a small battery-powered meter cell gives a warning in the viewfinder when light levels are insufficient, requiring use of a flashcube.

The name GAF superseded "Ansco" as the company's camera brand in 1967 (their parent corporation had been "General Analine & Film" for decades). Models like the 200 XF were clearly a response to the runaway popularity of Kodak's 1960s Instamatic series using drop-in loading 126 film.
