\/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>One of the reasons to like this camera is that while it has automatic exposure it is still manual rangefinder focusing.\u00a0 That appeals to me, in fact the first camera I bought for myself was the Minolta X700 a manual focus SLR at a time when autofocus cameras were everywhere.\u00a0 In some cases I don&#8217;t mind turning certain aspects of making pictures over to the camera when I know how its going to behave anyway, but letting the camera choose what\u00a0is\u00a0in focus seems to be giving up too much.\u00a0 Even today I mostly use spot focus with my DSLR\u00a0and recompose.<\/p>\n<p>Back to the Canon A35F\u00a0which looks a lot like a Canonet\u00a0or a QL17\u00a0with a\u00a0built in\u00a0flash.\u00a0 One downside\u00a0of this automatic camera is\u00a0that\u00a0it will lock the shutter if the light level falls too low, I would rather have an underexposed image than no image at all.\u00a0 This happens at EV9 with 100 ISO film (1\/60 @ f2.8)\u00a0a place I often go photographically, so that does limit its usefulness.\u00a0 You can always turn on the flash I suppose and go for that 1980&#8217;s party flash look.\u00a0 Speaking of looks I like the all black of the camera, so many of the other\u00a0rangefinders I have seen from this time have the silver black two tone look,\u00a0making the A35F actually stands out.\u00a0 It looks better than the Canon AF35 that came out the next year as well.\u00a0 So it sits between these two designs<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"frame-outer  small alignnone
