Goko Macromax FR 2200
The Goko FR 2200, or Goko Macromax FR 2200, is a compact camera with 25mm lens for the Advanced Photo system. Its specialty is its enormous macro capability. It was produced in Malaysia. A version with and another without built-in quartz clock were available. The clock needs an extra battery (2025).
The lever which opens the lens hood also switches on the camera. It has 3 on-positions. The first ist the green mode, the normal mode with full aperture. The Lens stays in the position that it has under the lens hood when the camera is switched off. The second or yellow mode is the super macro mode with smaller aperture and with nearly invisible elongation of the lens tube. The third mode is the red or ultra macro mode with further extended lens tube and the aperture reduced to minimum. The flash is switched on automatically for the macro modes, except when switched off in the green mode before.
