The Olympus Wide AF (known in some markets as the Infinity Wide 28) is a 35mm compact introduced around 1990, built around a fixed 28mm Zuiko lens in a sealed clamshell body. It belongs to the same generation of Olympus weatherproof compacts as the AF-10 Mini, and shares that camera's clamshell design and AA-battery power. Where the AF-10 Mini uses a conventional 35mm focal length, the Wide AF steps out to 28mm, placing it in a small category of consumer compacts that offer a genuinely wide-angle perspective.

Wide-angle compact cameras were rare in 1990. Most consumer compacts used 35mm or 38mm lenses, and the few 28mm-equipped models were typically more expensive. Olympus introduced the Wide AF as part of a move to differentiate its compact lineup through focal-length specialization, alongside zoom models expanding toward telephoto.
The camera was produced during the brief window between the AF-series and the mju series, which arrived in 1991. The mju line did not immediately include a 28mm variant; Olympus would return to the 28mm wide-angle compact category years later with cameras like the Stylus 80 Wide. The Wide AF thus occupies a short production window and is less commonly encountered than mainstream 35mm Olympus compacts.
A 28mm fixed lens on a pocketable, weatherproof body was genuinely uncommon in the consumer market in 1990. The Wide AF offers a field of view that makes it different in use from the vast majority of point-and-shoots: where a 35mm compact is a natural framing of everyday scenes, a 28mm compact forces a wider, more environmental perspective that suits reportage, travel, and environmental portraiture.
The Zuiko optical heritage meant the lens was competently designed for its class, even if it is not the optically exceptional piece of glass that the mju-II's 35mm f/2.8 would become. For collectors and users interested in early Olympus compact history, the Wide AF provides a window into the product strategy the company pursued before the mju line consolidated and simplified the lineup.
The camera's relative scarcity compared to later Olympus compacts adds minor collector interest, though the primary appeal remains functional: a compact, splash-proof 28mm camera that runs on AA batteries.
