Product Details
The Canon Prima Tele Date is a versatile 35mm point-and-shoot camera from the late 1980s, combining simple automatic operation with two focal lengths and an unusual selectable half-frame mode. With its 35mm wide-angle and 60mm telephoto lenses, autofocus and built-in flash, it’s an easy camera to use while still offering more creative flexibility than a typical compact.

The half-frame function is what makes the Prima Tele especially interesting: when selected before loading the film, each standard 35mm frame is divided into two smaller exposures, giving you around 72 photos from a 36-exposure roll. A distinctive and practical feature for anyone who wants to get more out of every roll of film.
