UF-70 Tele by Goko is a low-cost compact camera with twin focal lengths, released in 1991. It may be switched between 35 mm wide angle and 55 mm "tele" modes. Its rather low price (¥21 800 when new) is explained by the fact that it is fixed focus and as a consequence has slow lenses. Likewise, the shutter is single-speed, and the exposure system is simply a matter of stopping down the lens aperture if ISO 400 film is used. The lens is protected by a sliding barrier. It has built-in flash and it supports DX coded films. A date-back version was also sold.
