Canonet Demi EE17

The half-frame version of the Canon Demi Rapid and the top-of-the-line Demi. The bright SH 30mm f/1.7 lens had 6 elements in 4 groups. The viewfinder was a reversed Galilean type with bright frames. On the right of the viewfinder's image area was a exposure meter needle and correct-exposure window (with aperture scale). On the bottom of the image area were focusing pictographs for near, medium, and far subject distances and a match needle coupled to the lens focusing.

For exposure control, shutter speed-priority EE with a CdS cell was provided. The camera was popular for its high-performance specifications and features.

Here some photographs of my ugly looking but fully functional snake skin EE17 Demi......





The lens is fast and wide enough, good for street photography.



and this is the photo of half frame mask..... it is look small...... Don't forget, its portrait oriented.
