Canon Pellix SLR Body for 35mm Film. Fixed Mirror, w. Generic 28mm f/2.8mm Lens

Description: Here is a Canon Pellix SLR body for 35mm film. The Pellix was a bold experiment by Canon in 1965 to substitute a fixed pellicule mirror for the standard 'flip-up' of most SLR cameras. The advantage is stability because there is no vibration from a mirror going up and down. Disadvantage is that the mirror absorbs some of the light and thus reduces the effective speed of the lens about one-half stop. The Pellix was not a commercial success; the market voted for the standard flip-up mirror. This camera is significant for its unusual design. Included is a 'no name' 28mm f/2.8 wide angle lens that you may or may not find useful. Consider it a freebie along with the camera. The camera is in Average cosmetic condition.It operates properly including the self-timer and the shutter speeds sound OK to my ears. The ring below the rewind lever controls the viewfinder blind. There is some wear on the camera, particularly on the front nameplate, and a very small ding on the front of the pentaprism (see photo) and by the wind lever. There are a number of black marks visible in the finder; however there is no problem viewing or focusing. The camera uses a 1.35 volt PX625 or PX13 battery. I am selling the cameras and photo equipment I have collected over the past fifty years. They have not been film tested but appear to function correctly (film winds on, shutter fires, f/stops change, focus works). Shutter speeds sound approximately correct to my ear but speeds have not been electronically tested. I have disclosed any problems that I am aware of and have tried to act like a fussy sharp-eyed buyer in evaluating the cameras and lenses. The items have been stored in an air-conditioned non-smoking home. Remember that many of these items are classics, over forty years old, and inevitably will show some wear and signs of age. To avoid customs delays and hassles, I will only ship to the USA or Canada and accept only payments via PayPal. Please ask any questions before you bid. My goal is to make every buyer fully satisfied and each transaction free from hassle. Please let me know if you are not satisfied with the item received. I would appreciate positive feedback if you are pleased with the transaction.
