The Canon EF-M was a manual-focus 35mm film, SLR camera which used the Canon EF lens mount. It was introduced in 1991 for export to the non-Japanese market, and was the only manual focus camera in the EF line. It was not sold as part of the EOS range; the camera's official name was Canon EF-M rather than Canon EOS EF-M.
The EF-M was in essence a Canon EOS 1000 without autofocus that replaced the top-deck LCD with a control dial.[1] It was priced slightly cheaper than the EOS 1000, and relatively few units were sold. It was not directly available in Japan, though some were re-imported. It was sold with a standard 35-80mm kit lens. The lens came with an adapter ring that was intended to make manual focusing easier.
Unlike all EOS bodies, it came with an optical manual focus aid, a split-image focusing screen as well as a ring of microprisms. This system was common with manual focus SLRs but had since fallen out of use in the autofocus era.
