Use and Features:
The AF35M is designed for effortless use, allowing users to concentrate on composition and their surroundings. Its 38mm f/2.8 lens offers a good aperture for various light conditions. The built-in flash can be turned on or off as needed, and the self-timer allows for delayed shots.
The viewfinder is equipped with a red LED indicating battery status and pictograms for distance, although there is no indicator for aperture or speed settings. The active autofocus system indicates the distance after the shot is taken, which can cause problems avoiding blurry shots. Additionally, failure to lock the trigger can result in accidental releases.
In the field :
The Canon AF35M is lightweight and easy to carry, but its noisy feed motor can attract attention, making the camera less inconspicuous for street photography. Despite this, it offers good overall performance with around 80% successful photos. However, overexposure issues can occur, especially in bright conditions.

Please note that due to its vintage nature, the camera may show signs of minor wear, which adds to its unique charm.
