Designed for versatility, it combines a wide 28mm field of view—ideal for landscapes and group shots—with a 48mm focal length for natural portraits. Features include three-point autofocus, automatic exposure control, built-in multi-mode electronic flash, mechanical tilt stand on the base, top-mounted mechanical frame counter window, self-timer, and motor-driven film loading, advance, and rewind. Serial number 1949318. Complete with original Canon padded leatherette soft case and carrying strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall Condition: Very Good\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCosmetically in very good pre-owned vintage condition showing light handling marks and fine surface scuffs on the outer dark grey casing. Lens focal length selector switches smoothly between 28mm and 48mm optics. Shutter fires, autofocus operates, and internal motor drive advances and rewinds film properly. Built-in electronic flash fires reliably, and mechanical frame counter disk advances as intended. Viewfinder and lens glass elements are clean and clear, free from fungus, haze, or scratches. Clean battery compartment and film chamber. Serial number 1949318.

Unlike power zoom models that rely on complex multi-element zoom barrels, dual-lens cameras like the Prima Twin switch between two distinct prime lens optical paths, preserving prime-lens sharpness while offering both true wide-angle 28mm and standard 48mm perspectives. It remains a favorite choice among film shooters seeking distinct vintage character and wide-angle street photography capabilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKeywords\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCanon Prima Twin, Canon Sure Shot Tele Max, Canon Autoboy Tele 6, Dual Lens Point Shoot, 28mm 48mm Film Camera, Vintage Canon 35mm, Tested Canon Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Canon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56100246258006,"sku":null,"price":49.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0875\/5213\/1414\/files\/IMGP3791_08457833-e6b9-4803-9a2c-8c4db84adaf4.jpg?v=1792853895","url":"https:\/\/colinscameras.co.uk\/products\/canon-prima-twin","provider":"Colins Cameras","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
