I live in Europe and I have it as well, and it says AF 1 TWIN, I just got it and I still havent got my first film full, but I'm very excited! And the battery is 15 years old and still works well! Very good and informative video!
Thanks for the shout out! I've had a few different copies of this camera as well, with one of my later copies having an issue with the button, but it was just hard to switch the lens after pressing it. Also, I came across a Nikon that looks to have a similar set up: the TW20. So I've been on the search at eBay. :)
filmismorefun , ahhh thanks I'll check that out. I may even own it and have not fully looked at the lens setup on the nikon..I probably assumed it was a zoom.
Film Camera Reviews Actually I might be wrong- it could just be one lens that changes focal lengths. I should probably do more research before commenting about cameras I don't own, or not yet familiar with hahaha!
filmismorefun , I checked and I do own this camera and it's one lens but some how nikon say it's two lenses with different focal lengths. I think maybe before zooms in compacts this was how nikon got round it. Odd. As unlike the Olympus twin that's clearly two distinct lenses the nikon TW have a single lens. Maybe something moves and shifts inside the body. To switch lenses internally.
I've searched high and low and from what I can tell it's the same exact camera just with different branding..same lenses etc.. they did tend to give these cameras different names for Europe and for the US.
I got one of these and for whatever reason its not switching between lenses. granted I don't have a roll of film inside the thing but I am doubting that would change anything. is it broken or am I doing something wrong, anyone have any good advice? thanks!
Another camera on the 'watchlist' now thanks to you! Though I'm collecting a few Minolta AF slr cameras at the moment ... Thanks again
Fun little camera and amazingly cheap nowadays. I bought mine for 3 Euros on a flee market, which makes it easily my best purchase of the year :D
I call it my pocket rocket. Two lenses and fun to use. You did well getting one for 3 euros

Great stuff. It's what I call a pocket rocket ... Great little pocket camera. Two lenses is also a bonus

Film Camera Reviews I hope you plan for a review! Now I'm super curious haha.
filmismorefun , oh sod it I'll do a review now and upload it later mate
Hi! I've tried using this camera but however, the second time when I loaded new film, it does not advance the film anymore. Any idea why? Thanks!
I love that it looks like APHEX TWIN ♥️
Interesting that the AF-1 single 35mm lens is faster at f/2.8. I wish that was on this one and not f/3.5
just got this! does it rewind on its own once the film is over? looking forward to developing my first roll.
That's right, it will auto rewind the film once you have finished using up the final photo on the roll of film 😁
i just ordered one from ebay and it says in the lid PROMASTER Infinity Twin, do you know what it means ?
I've searched high and low and from what I can tell it's the same exact camera just with different branding..same lenses etc.. they did tend to give these cameras different names for Europe and for the US.
Film Camera Reviews thanks a lot! Beautiful and useful videos!
Are you planing on selling them?

Hmm does sound like it's faulty. I've had this before with one. The view in the finder should change as it switches over to the other lens
I just got one from a thrift store and have the same problem
How do you develop the fotos? So do u send it to a store ?
I used to get them developed at a store. But about two years ago I learnt to do it at home myself
Is the infinity twin is the same as the af1 twin?
Pretty sure yes. Us vs non us name
I need to finde my twin tomorrow... It's somewhere in the house
Hidden treasure.... Hope you find it
@@dangerpowers123 I did 😊
