Although this camera belongs to the CanonFlex series, it was developed as an entirely different model to the CanonFlex.

It used the same body shell as the Canonflex, the pentaprism was set very low, giving the body a unique shape. The top cover looked high, and the film advance lever fitted stylishly into a slot on the top cover. Coupled to the large shutter speed dial was the built-in selenium exposure meter which indicated the proper aperture.

Deluxe version of the Canonflex. With a top shutter speed of 1/2000 sec, the fastest ever for any camera, the CanonFlex R2000 was a high-performance 35mm SLR. Other than that, it was the same as the original Canonflex. The viewfinder used a Fresnel matte focusing screen without a rangefinder.

This was Canon’s first camera aimed at professional photographers.

To cut costs, the CanonFlex RP had a fixed, eye-level pentaprism viewfinder. This was the economy or “Populaire” version of the Canonflex.

The self-timer was operated by a simple lever, and the pentaprism cover was part of the single-piece top cover. Other features and performance were the same as the original Canonflex.

The EXEE is a 35 mm SLR camera made by Canon from 1969 until the early 1970’s. It was replaced by the Canon EX Auto in 1972.

This camera had unusual features such as shutter speed-priority AE, maximum-aperture TTL metering and AE, a bright aerial image viewfinder, and focal-plane shutter. The front lens element was also interchangeable.

The CdS meter reads between EV 4.75 and EV 17. It requires a 1.3V mercury battery or modern substitute. However, the shutter speeds are timed mechanically, so the camera functions without a battery (without metering).

Overall, the Canon EXEE was a well-regarded camera for its time, offering many advanced features and a high level of build quality. While it may not be as popular or widely used today as some other cameras from the same era, it was definitely considered to be a good camera in its day.
