Dual-focal-length 35mm compact with 38mm and 70mm settings for simple point-and-shoot use.
The Canon Sure Shot Tele Max is a dual-focal-length 35mm compact camera offering 38mm and 70mm settings via a simple switch mechanism. This straightforward design gives photographers a wide-angle option for general scenes and a short telephoto for portraits, covering the most common shooting situations.
Canon's proven autofocus system and programmed automatic exposure make this a true point-and-shoot camera requiring minimal technical knowledge. The built-in flash fires automatically in low light, and the DX film speed reading system automatically sets ISO for foolproof exposure with any standard 35mm film.
Build quality is typical of Canon's consumer compact range — lightweight plastic construction that is functional if not luxurious. The camera is small enough for a jacket pocket, making it a practical everyday carry camera for casual photographers who want reliable results without fuss.
A straightforward and unpretentious compact camera that does exactly what it promises. On the used market, the Sure Shot Tele Max offers an affordable entry into film photography for beginners or a reliable backup camera for more experienced photographers wanting something genuinely pocket-sized.
