AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Canon MC 35mm/f2.8 is not a standalone lens, but refers to the Canon MC, an ultra-compact, portable film camera that Canon released to market in 1984 and which was equipped with a fixed 35‑mm lens with an f/2.8 aperture.

It was a high-quality, microcompact, fully automatic film camera designed for maximum mobility.

Objective features: The camera was equipped with a high-quality, permanently mounted 35mm lens with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 and an optical design of four elements in four groups. The 35mm focal length is regarded as a light-wide angle and is ideal for everyday photography and documentary shots.

Core functions:

Autofocus: Uses a near-infrared autofocus system.

High ISO sensitivity: supports manual ISO settings from ISO 64 to 1000, which was relatively rare for fully automatic compact cameras at the time.

Removable flash: To maintain the camera's extremely compact size, the flash (Speedlite MC-S) is mounted externally so that it can be attached to or removed from the side of the camera for use.

The introductory price was 47,000 yen for the body and 7,000 yen for the flash. The Nikon F3 was sold for only 89,000 yen. You can see that this dumb machine really is a high-end product.
[Technical Parameters] 35mm F2.8 compact wide-angle lens with a fixed focal length and large aperture; automatic film advance and rewind; automatic infrared autofocus; film ISO must be adjusted manually; the only exposure mode is the automatic program; it also features a date imprint on the back and a selfie function, shutter speeds from 1/8 s to 1/500 s, aperture range f/2.8–f/16. Powered by AAA batteries, convenient and durable.
It is in good condition and has been tested; fully functional.
The lenses are free of scratches; the inside looks clean.
