Description

The Demi S is one of those cameras that manages to be both beautiful and genuinely practical. It shoots half-frame, meaning each roll of 36 gives you 72 exposures, which makes it a great companion for a trip or a busy weekend. We love this camera as it is fully mechanical which sets it appart from most other compact half frame cameras that only work in Auto mode. Another great thing about the Canon Demi S is its 30mm f/1.7, a notably fast optic for a camera this small, giving you decent low-light performance and a touch of background separation that half-frame cameras don’t usually offer. The zone focus system is simple once you get the hang of it, and the shutter-priority metering takes care of exposure for you. It’s compact, well-built, and produces pairs of portrait-oriented frames that lend themselves nicely to diptych-style photography.

Due to the age of this camera and the nature of old light meters we can’t guarantee that the light meter still works. This isn’t an issue as the camera will function perfectly without batteries. To meter a scene before taking a picture we recommend using an external light-meter or for you to take our online course that will teach you how to use a film camera without the use of any external tools.
