Canon AF35ML 35mm film point-and-shoot camera w/ case (serial 181852) | film🎞tested
The Canon AF35ML (or Super Sure Shot), first released in 1981, features one of the fastest lenses ever used in a 35mm point-and-shoot (40mm f1.9; five-elements in 5 groups).
This groundbreaking camera is not a perfect design (we didn't like how it has trouble focusing in low light or on low contrast subjects) but it's capable of taking outstanding photos in most situations. We recommend reading the manual linked below to get the best use of the AF35ML (the information on prefocusing and troublesome subjects on pages 19 and 20 are particularly important).
The original case is included.
The camera is powered by 2 AA alkaline batteries (not included). You cannot use rechargeable batteries with this camera.
The camera is in very good cosmetic condition (see photos) and in good working order. We film-tested this camera and it delivered sharp, correctly exposed photos. The included original case shows significant wear from age (see photo).
