 Had this one for a while. A friend found it, with a 135mm lens (in case with finder) in a house he had bought to rent. Nice in that it has an integrated viewfinder/rangefinder, and a viewfinder selection switch for three different focal lengths. |

Where have all these wonderful Canon rangefinders been hiding?
I have never even seen one in real life.

The early Rangefinders from Japan are far more common in the States than Europe, the UK in particular did not import any officially, with the post war import restrictions. Any in the UK where likely to be a purchase from a tourist, escaping import tax etc. Most decent condition ones where snapped up by the shops owners!..or sold at top price in London.
Canon were top notch quality in the 1950's, and consistent unlike some of the other rival makes from Japan.

My earliest (well earlier of two) is a Canon Vt. "t" standing for trigger wind. Once you get in sync you can do two frames a second.
