Introduced in 1965, the Canon Pellix is notable for its unique fixed pellicle mirror system, which allows light to pass through the mirror to the film and viewfinder simultaneously. This design reduces viewfinder blackout during exposure and enables quieter operation, making it distinct from conventional SLR cameras. This camera uses standard 35mm (135) film, producing images in the 24 × 36 mm format, and is compatible with Canon FL mount lenses.
