canon2s2

This camera is an improved version of the llS (new range of shutter speeds and a modified viewfinder). It is synchronized for flash at 1/45 (FP and X) and also has side mounted flash synchronisation, for use with a special bulb flash unit. The one-piece lever next to the rewind knob operates the optical finder, which covers 50mm (F), 100mm (1 x) and 135mm (1.5 x) focal lengths. There is a film type reminder built into the film wind-on knob.

The baseplate is removable, to allow film loading.

The top of the camera has the following inscription:
