Are you ready for another quick and dirty camera review? Ready, set ………

Camera?

• Canon AF35M II

Camera Specs?

• Fixed (strange) focal length 38mm + nice F2.8.
• Fully automatic
• Self-timer
• Flash
• Nice lens cover which protects the lens and functions as an on/off switch as well

Where did I test the camera and which film did I use?

• on the streets of Amsterdam with some Fuji C 200

Background story?

• The Canon AF35M II aka Sure Shot in the US and aka Auto Boy 2 in Japan from the same period as the Nikon L35AF 2 etc.

Weatherproof?

• The Canon is not an all weatherproof camera, but a bit of rain won’t hurt the camera. Just make sure to dry the camera on time. Reflections are awesome to shoot after it has rained.

Here are a couple of individuals snapshots I have taken with the Canon Autoboy II in November 2020. I have to say there’s nothing wrong with this camera if the purpose is to point and shoot.  As a matter of fact, this camera is a nice street photography camera and would even be a better camera if the ISO could be set manually.

Pros

• Simple to use (point and shoot)
• Flash is can be set manually on/off
• lens cover
• nice fixed lens
• fun to use
• use of 2x AA batteries (use rechargeable batteries!!)

Cons

• no manual ISO settings ( you can alter the DX-code if you really need another ISO)
• too simple to use (point and shoot)
• not a NIKON
• a bit loud

Contact me by comments or email, please!

Happy shooting and keep it analog

I have to admit I got a little bit of a problem called: G.A.S (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) I have been collecting analog cameras for quite a few years now, should be a decade or so. I am trying to overcome my problem and will sell the majority of my collection and keep just a few cameras. But before I sell a camera I have the urge to test the camera and write a little review (or maybe ask one of my fellow club members to do so).
