__________
The Fukaï WR-2 was manufactured in the late 1980s. Heavily inspired by the Minolta 5000 AF and the Yashica (Kyocera) 230 AF, its dating is hardly in doubt.
Offered with all its accessories (case, flash, tripod, etc.), it was compared to the true DSLRs of major brands, which it allegedly surpassed with its unbeatable value for money. You could get it for 200 or 300 francs, the equivalent of a camera costing several thousand francs.
It has a built-in flash, is motorized, and features the fabulous New Color Optical Lens, which bears a serial number, just like the high-end ones.
Under the sole, there remains a golden sticker stating "Made in Taiwan."
