AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
CANON Autoboy Tele Quartz Date, tested and working.
Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.
The Canon Autoboy Tele, sold as the Sure Shot Tele outside Japan, is a dual-focal-length 35mm compact offering a 40mm f/2.8 wide setting and a 70mm f/4.9 telephoto at the touch of a button, along with autofocus, motorised film transport and a built-in flash. This example is the Quartz Date version with a soft-filter effect setting.
Condition: Used — Excellent
Pre-owned, heavy signs of use
Serial Number
Please check the photo.
Appearance
Light scuffs from normal use; a clean example. Please check the photos.
Optical Condition
Finder: Clear
Lens / Sensor: Clear — no haze, fungus or scratches.
Functional
The camera operates properly — autofocus, shutter, film transport, flash and the date back all work.
Auto-exposure reads close to accurate: about +0.8 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: 0.8 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.
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.
