AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A beautiful example of classic 1960s Japanese design, this is an early-production model of the iconic Canon Demi half-frame 35mm film camera. Launched in 1963, the Demi series revolutionized pocketable street photography by allowing users to take 72 exposures on a standard 36-exposure roll of 35mm film. With its sleek, minimalist aluminum-alloy top plate, textured black leatherette body, and incredibly sharp optics, it remains a highly prized piece for both vintage camera collectors and analog street photographers.

This early variant features the highly regarded Canon Lens SH 28mm f/2.8 (consisting of 5 elements in 3 groups), offering wonderful contrast and vintage character. The camera utilizes a reliable Seikosha-L program shutter with speeds ranging from 1/30 to 1/250 sec plus Bulb.

The mechanical film advance lever operates properly, and the shutter releases smoothly.
