The Canon EF is a remarkable 35mm SLR that perfectly balances the robust mechanical engineering of the early Canon F-series with the electronic precision that would define later generations. It was Canon’s first camera to combine a fully mechanical shutter with electronic exposure control, making it a pioneer in hybrid camera design.
Lens Mount: Canon FD mount
Shutter & Speeds: A hybrid shutter system featuring a vertical-travel metal-curtain focal-plane shutter (Copal Square). Mechanically controlled for speeds from ½ s to 1/1000 s + Bulb, and electronically controlled down to 30 s.
Exposure Modes: Shutter-priority automatic exposure (plus manual stop-down metering) lets you select the shutter speed while the camera sets the aperture automatically.
Metering: TTL, full-aperture, center-weighted metering using a silicon photocell (EV 2–18 at ISO 100).
Build & Design: Rugged all-metal body, robust construction, reflecting Canon’s high-end engineering of the era.
The Canon EF is a premium vintage SLR that gives you access to one of the most respected lens systems ever made, in a body built to last. With its FD-mount compatibility, robust mechanics and classic Canon style, it’s suited for serious film shooters or collectors of fine analog gear. Clean, fully functional units are rare and make for excellent additions to any film setup.
Condition: Good working order with signs of use
