Canon mc 35mm film camera with original speedlite mc-s flash -fully tested

F2 A beautiful and very distinctive Canon MC 35mm compact film camera, introduced in the 1980s and designed for photographers who wanted something genuinely small, stylish and easy to carry without giving up a proper 35mm f/2.8 lens. For film lovers, this is the kind of camera that makes shooting film enjoyable: compact enough to take everywhere, simple enough to use spontaneously, but still equipped with a bright prime lens and real autofocus. Its concept is often compared with cameras such as the Olympus XA series — small, pocketable 35mm cameras made for everyday photography — but the Canon MC adds automatic focus, automatic exposure and motorized film handling. The camera uses a Canon 35mm f/2.8 lens, a very useful focal length for street photography, travel, portraits, holidays and everyday moments. The f/2.8 maximum aperture is also a nice advantage over many slower compact cameras and gives this model extra appeal for anyone looking for a classic film point-and-shoot with a proper prime lens rather than a basic zoom. Using the camera is very easy. Load a standard 35mm film, close the back and the camera handles the film transport automatically. Autofocus, exposure, film advance and rewind are all automatic, making it a great camera for anyone who wants to enjoy the character of film photography without constantly adjusting settings. One of the most interesting features of the Canon MC is its separate Canon Speedlite MC-S flash. Instead of building a large flash into the body, Canon designed a removable side-mounted flash unit. This keeps the camera itself much smaller and gives you the choice of carrying it without flash for a more compact setup, or attaching the original MC-S flash when needed. The camera and flash use very easy-to-find batteries: Camera: 2 × AAA batteries Canon Speedlite MC-S flash: 2 × AAA batteries Batteries are not included. The camera has been thoroughly tested and is working flawlessly. Autofocus, shutter, automatic exposure, film loading, film advance, rewind and the other main functions have all been checked. The detachable flash has also been tested and works correctly. Cosmetically, the camera is in very good overall condition for its age, with some normal marks, small scratches and paint loss from previous use, mainly around the rear and edges. Please examine all of the high-definition close-up photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description and show the exact cosmetic condition of the camera. For complete transparency: inside the battery compartment there are two small metal battery-contact/retaining tabs. One of these had previously broken and has been carefully and securely repaired. The repair is strong and stable, holds the battery correctly and does not affect the operation of the camera. I have tested this area repeatedly by inserting and removing the batteries several times, and the camera continues to operate perfectly. For anyone who loves classic 35mm film photography, this is a particularly charming camera: compact, unusual, genuinely portable and equipped with a bright 35mm f/2.8 Canon lens. It is the type of camera you can easily carry with you every day and simply enjoy the film experience without needing a large or complicated setup. Included: Canon MC camera + original Canon Speedlite MC-S detachable flash Not included: 35mm film and batteries
