Canon Sure Shot (aka AF35M II or Autoboy 2) 35mm film point-and-shoot w/ case (serial 3395219)
The 1983 Canon Sure Shot (AF35M II or Autoboy 2 in other countries) is a subtle update to the original 1979 Sure Shot (a landmark autofocus 35mm point-and-shoot camera). This updated Sure Shot retains the charms of the original while improving the lens (it employs a more sophisticated 4-group design) and adding a convenient retractable lens cap.
The camera is powered by 2 AA batteries (not included).
Condition notes
The camera is in good condition with some cosmetic wear (see photos) and good working order. We tested the camera's exposure accuracy and it's good (it tends to overexposure by ~0.5EV which is a negligible error on colour negative film).
