Description from the seller

Canon Demi S — Canon's Premium Half-Frame Camera

Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.

The Canon Demi S, released in September 1964, is the premium version of Canon's popular Demi half-frame camera series. Upgraded with a fast Canon SH 30mm f/1.7 lens and an improved metering system over the original Demi, it captures two photos on each standard 35mm frame — giving you up to 72 shots from a single 36-exposure roll. The battery-free selenium meter ensures effortless shooting without worrying about dead batteries.

The controls are smooth, and the light meter is working properly.
Light seals have been replaced.
