Types of polarisationin physics

Condition notesThe camera was tested with film and delivered sharp, correctly exposed images. Cosmetically speaking, the camera's body is quite worn (see photos) but the lens is in excellent condition and the camera is functionally perfect. An Olympus case is also included but is in somewhat worn condition (see photo).

Example photosHere are some pictures taken by other people with this model of camera to give you an idea of the image quality: https://www.lomography.com/cameras/3356991-olympus-af1/photoshttps://www.lomography.com/cameras/3330143-olympus-af-1/photos

There are three main types of polarization: plane, circular, and elliptical. Plane polarization occurs when light vibrates in a single plane, and can be produced through reflection, refraction, double refraction, scattering, or selective absorption. Circular polarization results from two plane waves that are 90 degrees out of phase. Elliptical polarization is when the electric field vector traces out an ellipse as the light propagates.Read less

Linear polarization

The Af-1/Infinity is said to have been a favorite of Andy Warhol and it's easy to see why: it's elegant and intuitive film camera that takes great photos. The only gripe we have with this well-designed camera is the lack of a flash-cancel button. The flash implementation is quite clever however, switching on automatically for both low light and backlit situations.

The Olympus AF-1 (sold as the Olympus Infinity) is a superb fixed lens 35mm point-and-shoot camera from the 1980s. It was the forerunner of the mju/Infinity Stylus series and offers similarly excellent image quality. The camera is built around a sharp Zuiko 35mm f2.8 lens (four elements in four groups) which focuses from 75cm to infinity.
