About
While the 1965 Canon Dial Rapid shares the spring-drive advance and curious meter cells of the 1963 Canon Dial 35, the later model was designed to use the Rapid film cassette system promoted by Agfa, rather than standard 35mm film. Images are evidently half-frame size[1], but unlike the Dial 35, the camera is designed to be held horizontally. The Dial Rapid has a 30mm f/2.5 lens, constructed using 5 elements in 4 groups. A reflector for AG-1 flashbulbs is included in the top plate of the camera.
