The Canon EOS Rebel G II is a single lens reflex camera. The 35mm camera was produced by Canon and introduced in 2003.
The Canon EOS Rebel G II comes with interchangeable lenses. Therefore an EF bayonet was used. Focusing is made easier by a built-in autofocus.
The 35mm camera has a built-in light meter. The light meter was built for films with a sensitivity from ISO 6 to ISO 6400. The film speed is determined by the DX code on the film cartridge.
The correct exposure is measured through the lens. The exposure settings are automatically adjusted by the Canon EOS Rebel G II if desired. The aperture and exposure time are also freely adjustable.
For long exposures there is a bulb mode. With the bulb setting, the shutter remains open as long as the photographer keeps the shutter-release button pressed. In low light conditions, the built-in flash can be used. A hot shoe flash can also be used.
The camera weighs 350 grams and measures 14.5 x 9.2 x 6.1 cm. The power supply of the 35 mm camera is provided by two CR123A batteries (eBay / Amazon*).
Films for the Canon EOS Rebel G II
Without photo films nothing works with the Canon EOS Rebel G II. More precisely, the camera needs 35mm film. 35mm films are still produced today and are quite easy to get. A nice choice for color pictures of Fujifilm Superia 400* and for b/w pictures of Kodak TRI-X 400*.
The color film is processed in the C-41 development process. This development process is carried out by all photo labs that offer development of 35mm film. For example, you can give your films to most drugstores for development.
The exposure area of the Canon EOS Rebel G II is 24 mm x 36 mm. With this size 36 pictures fit on a 36 mm film. The film is automatically rewound by the camera.
When loading, the camera winds the whole film on a spool and rewinds it back into the camera after each frame. This way you won’t lose any pictures if you open the camera by mistake.
The Canon EOS Rebel G II can only be found used. The value of a used copy is mainly measured by its condition and functionality.
