Canon Datelux A35 film camera + user manual

A very special compact camera with fully automatic operation.

This was actually the first camera Canon ever made with a built-in flash. It is also unusual in that it also has the rangefinder focusing system too (virtually no other rangefinders have a flash).

Take a look at the gallery for example photos we took with a Datelux.

Feels really great to hold - far better build quality than later (more plastic) cameras.

Very easy to use and with a lovely 40mm lens. Just turn the lens to focus and press the shutter button. 

Comes with a reprint of the original instruction manual.

If light is too low then the shutter will not fire, which reminds you to use the pop-up flash.

Takes regular 35mm film.

Has a self-timer, and can also imprint the year / month / day on photos if required.

All functions tested:

- Lovely clear viewfinder, with slick focusing action

- Flash snaps up smoothly and charges quickly / fires strongly

- Film winder works perfectly  

- Lens clear of any dirt / scratches

Comes equipped with batteries and lens cap, and in a protective cloth bag.

In excellent condition with just a few signs of use.
