Description:
The AF35ML has one claim to fame that is hard to argue with: it had the fastest lens of any autofocus compact camera made in the 1980s. Released in 1981 and also known as the Super Sure Shot in North America and the Autoboy Super in Japan, it was built around a 40mm f1.9 Canon lens of five elements in five groups, a specification that none of its competitors could match and that gives it a genuine practical advantage in low-light situations. The CCD triangulation autofocus is reliable for most everyday subjects, exposure is fully programmed, and the pop-up flash handles situations where even f1.9 isn't enough. A camera-shake beeper alerts you when the shutter speed is getting dangerously slow, which is a thoughtful practical detail. Film loads, advances, and rewinds automatically, and the camera runs on common AA batteries. A historically interesting and very capable compact for anyone who shoots in available light.
