Description :

A compact and collectible Japanese half-frame camera, the Canon Demi EE17 combines portability with quality optics:

  • Lens: Canon 30mm f/1.7 fast fixed lens (great for low light)

  • Format: Half-frame (72 exposures on a 36-exposure roll of 35mm film)

  • Exposure: Shutter-priority automatic exposure with CdS meter, or full manual control

  • Shutter Speeds: 1/8 to 1/500 sec + Bulb

  • Aperture Range: f/1.7 – f/16

  • Focus: Zone focusing system

  • Build: Solid metal body, stylish design typical of 1960s Canon

  • Introduced: 1966 by Canon, Japan


The EE17 is highly regarded because of its fast f/1.7 lens — sharper and faster than most half-frame cameras of its time. Its compact size and unique half-frame format make it popular among collectors and film enthusiasts today.
