The Olympus AFL Quick Flash series of compact cameras were some of the first mass-produced cameras manufactured by Olympus and were so advanced for their time that they were priced almost as highly as SLRs.
The original AFL (1984) had a 38mm f/2.8 lens (4 elements in 3 groups) and a built-in flash that recharged in just 1.5 seconds. It was nicknamed "Picasso" in Japan and was one of the first cameras to use a non-replaceable lithium battery. The AFL-S (1986) added DX-decoding. The S stood for "standard" and an auxiliary telephoto attachment was available. The battery this time was a replaceable 6V lithium. The AFL-T (also 1986) had a 60mm (f/4.5, 8 elements) telephoto lens built-in, and could switch to a wider 36mm (f/2.8 4 elements) on the flick of a button.
Common to all three models:
- Autofocus.
- Automatic exposure.
- Quickly recharging flash.
- Shutter speeds from 1/8-1/500s.
- Self-timer.
- Tripod socket.
