Introductory Paragraph The Canon Prima Super 135 is the definitive "luxury" compact for the serious film enthusiast. This specific unit (S/N: 1705425) is prized for its massive 135mm telephoto reach, which allows you to capture intimate portraits and distant architectural details that most pocket cameras simply cannot see. The AiAF system is a standout feature, ensuring that your photos are sharp even if the person you are photographing is standing to one side of the frame. Because it is a fully automated system, it manages the complexities of exposure and focus, leaving you free to explore your creativity. Whether you are documenting a family holiday or shooting street scenes at dusk, the Prima Super 135 provides the mechanical reliability and optical soul that has made Canon a world leader in photography.

Condition Report Good condition. The camera body (S/N: 1705425) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its age. The 38-135mm zoom lens is optically clear, free from fungus, haze, or significant scratches. The motorized zoom mechanism operates smoothly across the entire range. The AiAF system, automatic film transport, and integrated flash have been fully tested and are operational. The battery compartment is clean and free of corrosion, and the viewfinder is bright and clear. The back-plate mode dial is firm and responsive.

Specialist Note "The Prima Super 135 is widely regarded as one of the best 'super-zoom' compacts Canon ever made. What I love about this S/N: 1705425 is the tactile feel of the mode dial; it makes the camera feel much more 'pro' than a standard point-and-shoot. The lens is surprisingly sharp at the 135mm end, which is where many other zoom compacts start to struggle. It produces that classic, vibrant 'Canon color' that looks amazing on film like Kodak Portra or Ektar. It’s a rugged, intelligent, and very capable 35mm tool that feels substantial in the hand. For anyone who wants a reliable, high-zoom film camera that is genuinely easy to use, this is a top-tier choice."
