{"product_id":"canon-demi-ee17-1","title":"Canon Demi EE17","description":"\u003cp\u003eCanon Demi EE17!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Canon Demi is a half-frame camera, 'Demi' being the French word for \"half\". It uses ordinary cartridge-style 35mm film, but takes two 24 x 18mm exposures in the place of a normal 24 x 36mm film frame. This means a 36 exposure roll will actually hold 72 separate half-frame photos. This could be quite a saving per exposure for a simple snapshot camera: economics was the reason for the half-frame cameras of the sixties. Colour film was very expensive in comparison to B\u0026amp;W films at the time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Demi is a beautiful child of the sixties. Yet its styling was ahead of its time. It looks more at home among the modern electronic point and shoots than it does among its heavy rangefinder Canonet and SLR contemporaries. Its sleek, metal body panels wrap around rounded corners, giving the camera a comfortable feel in one's hands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first Demi was introduced in February of 1963; by no means was it the first half frame camera. (The very first half frame was the 1908 Lleo, since it was the first still camera to use perforated 35mm film. 35mm movie cameras expose frames the same size and orientation as a half-frame camera. So in reality 35mm still cameras are \"double frame\" cameras.) It wasn’t the first from the big Japanese makers either. The very popular Olympus Pen cameras were first released in 1959.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e~Perfect for a beginner through to professionals!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverall condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Great condition 8.5\/10\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e~Example photos can be found\u003cspan\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.lomography.com\/cameras\/3326162-canon-demi-ee17\/photos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e~Camera manual can be found\u003cspan\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/butkus.org\/chinon\/canon\/canon_demi_ee17\/canon_demi_ee17.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e~Film for this camera can be found \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"here\" href=\"https:\/\/junktion.co.nz\/collections\/35mm-film\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis camera has been cleaned, mechanically tested and is in full working condition.
