Canon EOS 650

The Canon EOS 650 is the first model in the EOS series. The SLR camera was introduced in 1987. EOS stands for “electro-optical system”. In naming the cameras, Canon followed a wild system over the years. For example, the EOS 620 was introduced well after the 650

The lenses of the Canon EOS 650 can be exchanged. Therefore an EF bayonet was built into the camera. EF stands for Electronic Focus. Usually the camera comes it with the Canon EF 35-70mm f/3.5-4.5. The focusing of the lens is done by a built-in autofocus system.

The 35mm camera has an exposure meter. It can use the exposure for films with a sensitivity from ISO 6 to ISO 6400. The film speed is read from the camera by the DX code on the film cartridge.

The correct exposure is measured through the lens. The camera uses the data for the various exposure programs.

The camera comes with a bulb mode. The shutter can remain open for a variable time. An external flash can be fired via the built-in hot shoe. In the Canon EOS 650 a thread for a tripod is built in. There is also a self-timer.

The camera weighs 660 grams and measures 14.8 x 10.8 x 6.8 cm. The camera needs a 6V 2CR5 battery (eBay / Amazon*).

Films for the Canon EOS 650

Which films does the Canon EOS 650 need? Films of the 35mm format are used. 35mm films are still offered by various manufacturers. Two charming films for the 35mm camera are Kodak Ultramax 400* and Kodak T-Max 100*, both of which can be used to take beautiful color or black and white pictures. They are also a good choice for the next holiday.

The film transport is automatic. The camera rewinds to the next picture after each release. At the end of the roll the camera rewinds the film back into the cartridge.
