SYSTEM

THE EXPOSURE

The Zoom 8 has the fastest speed F 1.4 zoom lens
with an amazing zooming ratio of 1 :4. The power­
ful 4X magnification enables you to zoom from
wideangle to telephoto continuously. Once the
subject is focused, the performance to world­
famed Canon precision lens and the zooming
system assure you of absolute sharpness during
the entire zooming operation. It is also devia­ 

tion free which enables you to take clear-and­
sharp pictures at any point between 10 mm and

40mm, making composition a breeze! The clear­ 

est and smoothest zooming effect is obtained.

The Zoom 8 is superbly designed for the easiest
and most care-free picture taking. The single­
lens reflex system of the Zoom 8 assures you
of the easiest viewing and the most accurate
focusing through the lens.
Single lens reflex
focusing assures the freedom from parallax error.
You will view with full brightness at 01\ time;
closing lens aperture does not affect the bright­ 

ness of the view. The split-image rangefinder
gives critical focusing.

TO THE LENS DIAPHRAGM
Super sensitive CdS Exposure Meter is incorpo­
rated in the Canon Reflex Zoom 8.
Setting
exposure is so much more easier now. You can
now view while you turn the aperture ring to
get accurate exposure. An accurate exposure
is automatically determined by simply rotating
the aperture ring to match the needle to the
index mark both of which are visible in the
viewfinder window.
The meter can be employed in all filming speeds
and aperture readings of the Zoom 8 for all
