Canon Dial 35-2 with original Canon case, wrist strap, and manuals!
The Canon Dial 35-2 is an unconventional, half-frame 35mm film camera released in 1968, distinguished by its unique vertical, rotary phone-inspired design. It features a spring-motor film advance for rapid, consecutive shots and produces two images on each standard 35mm frame, doubling the number of exposures per roll. An update to the original Dial 35, the 35-2 model improved the motor and expanded the film speed range.
