Nikon One Touch 100
Nikon One Touch 100 (also called the RF-2 and RD-2), 1988 answer to auto everything!
The One Touch 100 is a plastic brick of a consumer camera that put very little faith in the users. Flash - Auto, Focus - Auto, ISO - Auto, Film advance - Auto, Shutter Speed - Auto, Aperture - Auto, Film Loading - Auto, Film Rewind - Auto. Why did you even bother to show? What is left to the user? Well you do have to open the lens cover (the Auto ON). You have to point it at something and you have the option of holding the auto focus to re-frame the shot. There is also an option of two different self-timer settings. So you do have a role in the process.
All joking aside auto is why we were buying the One Touch 100 for in 1988. If you wanted control there were plenty of cameras that gave you that. This is a true point and shoot. Judge by that standard it preformed well. Mine has taken some hits and was not fully functioning. The film counter was not working and the rewind did not work automatically.
This camera falls in my category of: find it cheap, feed it some film, don’t expect much and have fun. It is not a premium point and shoot. The images were soft and the focus was not very crisp. Nothing about the One Touch 100 should send you in search of one; but if one finds you, enjoy. (Just don’t use the good film)
Lens: 35mm f3.5
