Canon Demi ½ format Vintage

The resulting Canon Demi offered high-performance features in a pocket-size package. They included a direct viewfinder, a 28mm f/2.8 lens (5 elements in 3 groups), and a match-needle selenium exposure meter which used a behind-the-lens light value program for accurate metering. When the Demi was introduced, there were already twelve competing models in the market. The Demi, however, proved to be popular. “Demi” comes from the French word meaning “half.”
*The Demi 2 had front and back covers made of lightweight aluminum instead of brass.
