In this issue, we would like to introduce the film chamber lid open knob design of Canon’s manual-focus film SLR cameras released in 1966.

Canon PELLIX QL (Reference product)

The film chamber lid opening knob is located on the underside of the film rewind handle side at the bottom of the body.

To open the film chamber lid, pull out the knob embedded in the bottom of the body.

Turn the pull-out knob clockwise.

The film chamber lid opens.

It is opened and closed by a link from the bottom of the lever.

This time we introduced the film chamber lid opening knob design of Canon’s manual focus film SLR camera released in 1966.

Many SLR cameras of the 1970s had a film chamber lid that could be opened by pulling the crank on the film rewind handle upward or by using a lever on the side of the camera body.

The controls tend to be concentrated on the ceiling of the camera body, but this camera uses the bottom space effectively, making it very easy to operate.
