Chinon · Japan · 1993 · 135 film

The Dual AF P was a 35mm autofocus SLR camera introduced by Chinon in 1993. Positioned as an entry-level model during the final years of the film SLR boom, it aimed to provide basic autofocusing capabilities and point-and-shoot convenience at an accessible price point. Characterized by a primarily plastic construction and straightforward controls, the camera likely featured a modest autofocus system, built-in motor drive for film advance, and a standard lens mount (possibly Chinon's proprietary K or a common Pentax K-type). It represented the segment of cameras designed for casual photographers and hobbyists seeking simplicity without advanced features or premium build, typical of many late-era 35mm autofocus models before the digital shift significantly impacted the market.
