My Old Camera

I chose the Nikon Fun-Touch


It was originally manufactured in 1987



This camera is equipped with a Nikon 35 mm lens

The first thing that I noticed about the camera is a gold oval sticker on the top surface of the camera.  The sticker has printed on it in black ink : Passed, JCII, 81, C/D, JMDC

After further research, I found that JCII is stands for the Japan(Nippon) Camera and optical instruments Inspection and testing Institute.  So apparently it passed their test...
