The Olympus AF-10 Twin is a 35mm autofocus compact introduced around 1990 that extends the AF-10 Mini formula with a dual-focal-length capability. Where the AF-10 Mini offered a single 35mm lens, the Twin adds a second telephoto position - commonly cited as ~70mm - selectable by the photographer via a switch or button on the body. Both focal lengths are served by Zuiko optics in a clamshell polycarbonate body that carries the same splash-resistant sealing found across the AF-10 series.

Olympus had introduced the dual-focal-length clamshell concept with the AF-1 Twin in the late 1980s. The AF-10 Twin carries that concept into the next product generation alongside the single-lens AF-10 Mini. Both cameras occupy the transitional moment in early 1991 when Olympus was preparing to launch the first mju, which would establish a new and more successful compact branding.
The "Twin" designation across Olympus's AF-series compact lineup consistently denoted a camera offering two selectable focal lengths rather than a zoom. This approach was common in the late 1980s and early 1990s before improving zoom optics and manufacturing costs made variable-focal-length designs practical at consumer price points. By the mid-1990s the zoom compact had largely displaced fixed-tele designs in the consumer market.
The AF-10 Twin was discontinued when the mju-series branding took over Olympus's consumer compact segment.
The AF-10 Twin represents the last iteration of Olympus's fixed-dual-focal-length weatherproof compact concept before the mju series redefined the product category. As a historical object it shows the intermediate stage between the fixed-prime AF-1 and the zoom-equipped mju-Zoom.
For users, the dual-focal-length approach has a practical argument: the 35mm and telephoto positions are each optimised rather than covering a continuous range, so in theory image quality at each setting can exceed what a zoom of equivalent price achieves. Whether that theoretical advantage was realised in the AF-10 Twin's consumer-grade optics is unclear.
The AA battery requirement remains a practical advantage for travel and long-term storage compared to lithium-dependent later compacts.
