The thing is, all the cameras I definitely wanted –your Olympus XAs, your Contax T2s, et cetera–were prohibitively expensive. This model featured the smallest range of focal lengths (38mm – 60mm) and the smallest maximum aperture (f/4. In the likely case that your camera doesn’t come with a copy, you can find most camera manuals for free online.I enjoy shooting these other formats because every image has to be well composed and carefully thought out. The Canon Sure Shot 60 Zoom is a light, easy-to-use, relatively quiet camera with a impressively sharp lens and the ability to accept a wide range of ISO-rated films. Leaving behind the boxy exterior that was common in the late 70s and early 80s, the Supreme had subtle curves for increased ergonomics.

The very few sample photos I was able to find taken using this camera gave me a bit of hope, but I wasn’t expecting anything special from a camera that came out while I was in junior high school. And by the time I’ve completed this mental checklist, the moment will have passed and the image has been lost to time. While it may not rival modern digital cameras in terms of versatility, its charm lies in the authenticity and nostalgia it brings to the world of photography. Once again, this model is particularly sleek – the dimensions are similar to the Max with only 10mm of additional depth because of the longer lens.While the majority of later Canon Sure Shots came in silver with black accents, the 70 Zoom had a sleek, all-black finish.

Compact and lightweight, the Sure Shot 60 Zoom measures 121x68x44 mm and weighs just 245g, making it a convenient choice for on-the-go photography. I didn’t mean to get so bogged down in the “theory” of my images, but I feel that the mindset when shooting half frame is one of the most important things to convey. But if it’s truly a “one in a million” shot, the image itself is what’s important, not the tool used to capture it.
