The Canon EF is a manual focus 35mm SLR camera produced between 1973 and 1978 and is compatible with Canon's FD, FL and R-mount lenses. This camera's main feature was the first and last of its kind. It was the Copal Square, a vertical-travel, metal-curtain, focal-plane shutter. Yeah this makes a very unique sound as far as Canons go.
This camera body tends to cause some confusion amung more seasoned photographers with Canon opting to name a (and most resent)lens series after an obsolete camera body designation. well I can assure you this is not a lens XD.
This one here is one of the latter models with the split microprism viewfinders. |
