The Olympus mju Zoom 130 (sold as the Stylus Zoom 130 in North America) is a 35mm zoom compact introduced around 1997, extending the well-established mju Zoom family's telephoto ceiling from 105mm to 130mm. It shares the same splash-resistant polycarbonate clamshell design as its siblings: a sliding cover protects the lens at rest and powers the camera on opening. At the 130mm end the lens delivers moderate telephoto compression suited to outdoor portraits and travel candids without requiring the user to step back to an uncomfortable distance.

By 1997 the mju Zoom family had expanded to cover a ladder of zoom ranges: 38-70mm, 38-80mm, 38-105mm, and at the top end a cluster of longer models. The 130mm version joined this tier alongside the 115mm and 140mm cameras as Olympus responded to consumer demand for greater telephoto extension in a pocket body. Competing cameras from Canon (Prima Zoom series), Nikon (Zoom Touch series), and Pentax (IQZoom series) occupied similar focal length rungs, making the mid-late 1990s a period of near-identical incremental zoom-range competition among compact manufacturers.
The Zoom 130 was sold in European and Japanese markets under the mju name and in North America as the Stylus Zoom 130, consistent with Olympus's naming convention across the era. Production continued into the early 2000s, when Olympus began shifting investment toward its digital compact lineup and the film mju Zoom family was quietly retired.
The mju Zoom 130 is less celebrated than the 105 or the mju-II prime-lens camera, but it is a solid example of the mid-tier zoom compact at the peak of that category's technical maturity. The 38mm wide end keeps it useful for interior and landscape shots; 130mm gives enough reach for wildlife and compression effects that 105mm cannot quite replicate. The weatherproof clamshell body means it can be carried in a jacket pocket on a drizzly day without concern.
In retrospective film photography communities the 130 tends to be overshadowed by the more widely discussed 105, but this means used prices remain modest - it is often found at the same price as or below the 105, making it an undervalued choice for shooters who actually want the extra focal length.
