THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE BUYING: Here's an outstanding Canon IIF coupled rangefinder camera, made by the Canon Camera Company of Japan in the early 1950s, fitted with a superb interchangeable Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens (in Leica 39mm screw mount), for standard 24 x 36 mm exposures on 35mm film. Such a lovely example, but please look carefully at all the pictures because they are part of the description. Cosmetically it has the usual bits of wear and marks around the chrome that are consistent for a camera that's been used yet never abused over the many years, but still presents in excellent condition. The shutter is sticking at the back end on the slow speeds, but firing strong and consistently on all the fast speeds. The shutter curtains are perfect, the rangefinder is accurate and contrasty, and the film winding is smooth. The lens shows some minor wipe marks on the front glass surface, and there are some minor spots inside, but the optics are otherwise clean for their age, very sharp, plus the focus is smooth and the diaphragm is spotless. A beautiful working camera for both collectors and users. Buy-it-now immediately for only $249, or try to entice me with your own best offer, and shipping is absolutely free within the United States!
