Hi,
I am from Malaysia ...!
I have a 49 years old Canon camera (half frame)Demi-17 in pretty good and 75% mint condition but is NOT in working condition.
It is a Collector item and for its age I would
say is in Mint condition.
Do drop me a line for further details.
Thank you. |

Has anyone ever seen a Demi any model that worked? About as reliable as a Fujica or Kowa Setr.
"75% mint condition"?
Uhm, I like that. I have some "10% mint condition" cameras for sale that, until I saw this creative grading system, would have been listed as junk. |

I must agree with Finnegan. I have come to think that when asked if it works, the name DEMI equates to, Don't Even Mention It! |

I had one that I made work for a good deal of time, but after 10 years it went south again and is lying in a box now in pieces. It is a Demi S, at that. I still have a Pen EE-S which works perfectly, selenium cell and all. |

I prevent myself to be a collector, but I am still looking around in this collector's section, right? |

Mackath, if you have two of something , the second one is a back-up. If you get a third, you're a collector. ;-)

Hello Mackath.
To me it sounds as if a collector somewhere in side of you is struggling to get out. So let it! |
