About

The Canon FX is an SLR camera that uses 35mm film and was introduced by Canon in 1964. It superseded the more elaborate Canonflex series and introduced the new Canon FL mount for its interchangeable lenses. The built-in meter uses a CdS cell that is powered by a mercury battery. The meter can be set from ASA 10 to 800, and has a range of EV 1 to 18 (ASA 100). Shutter and ASA are coupled to the meter, with a needle visible on the top deck showing the proper f/stop to manually transfer to the aper
