Canon E-F
The Canon EF is a groundbreaking 35mm SLR camera introduced in 1973, notable for being Canon's first autofocus SLR camera. This innovative camera features an early autofocus system using infrared technology and is equipped with a dedicated 50mm f/1.8 Canon EF lens. The EF offers aperture priority automatic exposure with TTL metering and manual override capabilities. While revolutionary for its time, the autofocus system had limitations in low light and with certain subjects.
