This is the same camera as the A35 Datelux minus the date imprinting function. It was marketed in the U.S. and China.

This was Canon's first attempt at auto focus. It is a point and shoot camera that takes convenient AA batteries. The lens is fast and sharp-40mm f1.9. The auto focus technology was primitive, and shots can be hit or miss. Pre-focus requires being a contortionist and pressing multiple buttons and switches with both hands. The film advance motor is loud by any comparison to any camera. It is not a great shooter, but it is pretty. Prices have been high since some bloggers wrote about it and film newbies jumped on it. I also own several of the ML model that replaced it, which is a nicer camera to use ergonomically speaking. Keep in mind that both the A35F and AF35ML have late 70s early 80s electronics, fairly cheesy battery doors, and are subject to failure. If you are looking for a good Canon point and shoot, go with the Sure Shot Supreme which is phenomenal. The Ace is also excellent in that category of camera.
