AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
CANON Autoboy Lite 2 DATE, tested and working.
Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.
The Canon Autoboy Lite 2, sold overseas as the Sure Shot Ace, belongs to Canon's hugely successful Autoboy line of autofocus compacts that began in 1979 with the world's first autofocus 35mm compact camera. Introduced in the late 1980s, the Lite 2 pairs a sharp 35mm f/4.5 lens with fully automatic exposure, motorised film handling and a built-in flash in a rounded, pocketable body; this DATE version adds a quartz data back for imprinting the date on the negative. Light, dependable and entirely automatic, it is typical of the golden age of Japanese point-and-shoots now enjoying renewed popularity among film shooters.
Important — please read carefully:
Pre-owned, distinct signs of use or minor optical flaws
Condition: Used — Good
Pre-owned, distinct signs of use or minor optical flaws
Serial Number
Please check the photo.
Appearance
Scuffs and scratches from normal use. Please check the photos for details.
Optical Condition
Lens / Sensor: Clear, no issues
Functional
The camera operates properly.
Measured exposure deviation is small: about +0.6 EV at EV12 and +0.5 EV at EV15.
Measured Performance
We check these cameras on a shutter tester rather than by ear, and we publish what we measured:
- Light meter accuracy — EV12: 0.6 OVER / EV15: 0.5 OVER
Negative film has enough latitude to absorb deviations of this size, but the figures are here so you can judge for yourself.
Known Issues
1. Part of the battery-cover latch is chipped. The cover still closes and holds, and shooting is not affected — please check the photos.
Bundled Items
Only what you can see in the pictures will be included in the package.
Important Notes for Used Items
As this is a used item, subtle imperfections may exist that are not individually described.
Shipping
We ship via either FedEx or Japan Post (ePacket), whichever suits the destination and the parcel. With Japan Post your package is handed over to the local postal carrier in your country for final delivery.
We only ship to registered addresses.
We ship within 3 business days after payment.
Customs and Taxes
Parcels are shipped DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid): import VAT and any customs duties are collected by customs or the carrier on delivery, in accordance with the rules of the destination country.
Where import taxes have already been collected at checkout — for example under the EU IOSS scheme for orders up to EUR 150 — there is nothing further to pay on delivery.
Import charges vary from country to country, so please check the rules that apply where you live.
We do not under-declare item values or mark items as "gifts."
Returns and Buyer Protection
Handled in accordance with Catawiki's Seller Terms.
