I’m sorry

Because we can’t speak english

I am using DeepL translate, so it may be a strange sentence,

but I would like you to understand

Thank you


In the previous installment, we looked at the eye-level finder of a film SLR camera released by Canon in 1973, and in this installment, we will look at the eye-level finder design of a film SLR camera released in 1979, comparing it to the Canon AE-1 PROGRAM!




And we will use the camera on sale at our vintage shop Japan Inc.

In this article, we compare old and new eye-level finders from the same Canon 1970s.
 

The basic shape of both are similar in design, but a detailed comparison clearly shows the differences.


We will continue to look at eye-level finder designs.
