Canon Prima Tele + 35mm / 60mm

Canon Prima Tele + 35mm / 60mm Dual Lens

The Canon Prima Tele (known as the "Autoboy Tele 6" in Japan) is a unique and innovative 35mm point-and-shoot camera featuring a dual-focal length lens system. Unlike standard zoom cameras, it switches between a wide 35mm f/3.5 lens and a 60mm f/5.6 telephoto lens at the touch of a button. This mechanical switch ensures superior sharpness compared to early budget zooms. Launched in 1988, it is famous for its high-quality Canon optics and its distinct, robust design. It even includes a built-in bulb mode for long exposures, a rare find in compact cameras of this era.

Expert Advice The Canon Prima Tele is a "cult classic" for street and portrait photography. The 35mm setting is perfect for wide street scenes, while the 60mm setting provides a very flattering focal length for portraits. One of its most interesting features is the Bulb mode, which allows you to take creative long-exposure night shots if you use a tripod. For the best experience, we recommend using ISO 400 film, which allows the 60mm f/5.6 lens to perform exceptionally well even in overcast conditions. This is a perfect camera for those who want the sharpness of a prime lens with the flexibility of two different perspectives.
