Canon EX EE


Vintage Canon EX EE SLR

Canon EX EE SLR Vintage Film Camera
  
The Canon EX EE is a vintage 35mm SLR camera made by Canon from 1969 until the early 1970s. The Canon EX EE has through the lens metering and shutter priority AE. It has a focal plane shutter with cloth blinds, traveling horizontally. Shutter speeds from 1/8 to 1/500 second plus 'B', and has a delayed-action lever on the front of the body. X-synchronization for flash is at 1/60 second; there is a cold shoe, and a PC socket next to the left-hand strap lug. The aperture is set not on the lens, but on a dial around the rewind crank, between f/1.8 and f/16; there are also 'EE' (i.e. auto-exposure) and 'Off' positions. The aperture set is displayed in the viewfinder on a scale with a needle.

The included lenses are: Standard lens: EX50mm f/1.8, Wide angle lens: EX35mm f/3.5, Portrait lens: EX95mm f/3.5. The CdS meter reads between EV 4.75 and EV 17. It requires a 1.3V mercury battery or modern substitute. The shutter speeds are timed mechanically, so the camera functions without a battery without metering. The EX EE has Canon's QL (Quick Load) loading feature, the film leader is simply pulled across the film compartment to a mark, close the back, and the uptake mechanism then captures the leader when the advance is Wound. This rare Canon classic film camera is in good condition, the shutter fires, and the needle for the meter reacts to light - no other testing was performed.
