Canon 35mm focal plane shutter rangefinder camera - Brand: Canon - Lens: Canon 50mm Manufactured in the 1950s-60s. Thank you for viewing! I found this while cleaning up my parents' house. It belonged to my father, but it has been stored for decades, so it probably needs maintenance to be used. I'm not familiar with cameras, so I can't explain much, sorry. The rest is as shown in the photos. It came with a cool leather case. Additional information (from Canon's website): Release date: August 1956 Canon VT 1956 - 35mm rangefinder camera Price at the time of release: 82,000 - 115,500 yen This was the first model to significantly change from the bottom-loading film loading method (old Leica type), which had continued for 20 years since the standard model was released, to a back cover opening type. It was positioned as a successor to the IV series, and the name V was given, but it was developed with completely new concepts such as a built-in self-timer, a 3-stage variable magnification finder, and a winding mechanism. The finder's field of view magnification incorporated a field of view magnification for a wide-angle 35mm lens in response to the demands of the times, and the half-mirror prism was plated with highly reflective gold, ensuring a bright field of view 2.5 times brighter than before. The VT type pioneered the V series, but instead of the rotary winding using the top lever, it adopted a trigger (gun trigger) at the bottom for quick winding, to differentiate it. The T in VT stands for Trigger.
