Comments[edit]
Nalcom are not very well known in the UK except for the FTL1000 and the 3M 7100. This is a very good, well made compact point and shoot camera. Surprisingly versatile with XL, macro and full manual exposure override. No sound but very light and small with a handy folding grip that takes 3 AA batteries. I have not shot any film with my camera but it is in excellent condition. The only disadvantages are the lack of 24 fps and a rather small viewfinder image. The viewfinder is typical of entry level cameras. A good alternative to an Eumig Mini 3 Servofocus PMA or a Sankyo EM-20 XL.
