The Canon VL2 / Canon 50mm f/1.8 II, produced for only one year in 1958 with a total production run of 8,450 units, was sold in the Japanese market. Accessories include a genuine 135mm viewfinder, a metal hood, and a Marumi UV filter. "Camera Condition" The camera has scratches and marks from age and use, including on the metal shutter curtain. Optically, there is some dust, scratches, and slight haze that could not be removed, including on the lens. The double image alignment is faint, but there are no problems with focusing. Shutter speeds and X-sync have been checked. The shutter operates normally, including slow speeds, with no shutter speed irregularities. The "winding noise" issue, a common problem, has been repaired, and the self-timer also works correctly. There are no light leaks, and the results of actual shooting are good. "Important Notes" * Set the shutter speed dial one step at a time after winding. Skipping or going back and forth can cause malfunctions. * When not in use, set the low-speed dial to 1/30 second. Leaving it on a low speed can cause problems. * Do not wind the camera before the shutter has completely closed. This can lead to malfunctions. * Winding will become heavier when film is loaded. Please operate carefully. * If, for any reason, you are unable to either fire the shutter or wind the camera, turn the shutter release ring from A to the rewind position. This will allow you to force the shutter to fire. Returning it to the A position will restore normal function. Although the frame count may be off, this is useful to know in an emergency. * Due to individual lens variations, there may be a slight deviation in infinity focus. Please be aware of this. Advanced users can remove the cosmetic screws and adjust the double image alignment. * There are other "standard" issues specific to this model. We recommend checking the operation on YouTube or similar before taking pictures.
