The Canon Demi EE 28 had the same SH 28mm f/2.8 lens as the first Demi camera. The lens was also the Demi C’s interchangeable normal lens. For exposure metering, the camera used program EE with a selenium photocell. When the focusing ring was set to the 3-meter mark, a pan focus mark appeared.
When this camera was introduced, the demand for color negative film was increasing as film prices got lower. There was less need to economize on film with the half-frame format. The advantages of half-frame cameras thereby weakened.
