tULTRA RARE BLACK Canon model 7 Body Leica Screw Mount Rangefinder LTM M39 The ultra sexy Canon 7 Black (not the black re-paint, the original black model). Now it is said that Canon did not officially produce black versions of any of its rangefinders, but this is not necessarily the case, as there has been black rangefinders that have found themselves on the market. Of course there are a lot of fake home-painted jobs, but you can tell them a mile off. This one is clearly not one of those cameras, it has the original Canon paint-job The black Canon 7 is usually easy to spot, as the black enamel is applied over raw brass. If you can spot brassing on the edges or where the paint is chipped, it's likely the real deal. You can see the brassing on the edges of the old Canon 7, has brassing on edges. Shutter curtain has some minor wrinkling shutter dial does vary speeds however because of the age can't say they are spot on accurate there are lots of photos gallery and attached to the description, the photos are 90 percent of my description however as for the light meter not sure if it works. Oh and the person etched the ss # on the bottom SOLD AS IS.
