Canon Model VT de luxe (Version 1) - 35mm Body Rangefinder camera

Canon VT Deluxe rangefinder 35mm compact camera with slit shutter. LTM - M39, plenty of lens choices. Integrated coincidence rangefinder with inverted Galilean viewfinder, rotatable for setting one of three magnifications. This is a turret finder with a turning mechanism to switch between the different focal distances (35mm, 50 and 90/135) without needing an external viewfinder. In the accessory shoe there is an automatic coupling for parallax correction for the finder. In the bottom plate lies the unique trigger-winder (LeicaVID, minimum 1000 euros) for rapid film advance. Normal winding is also possible via the dial knob on the top right. The finder is a pleasure. No hassle with frame lines that are hard to see in low light. Simply good 35 or 50 frame lines, or super magnification for the dual-image system for focusing. That is the strength of this type of camera! Then easy film loading through a rotating back door with clever locking. Absolutely all unique and not improvable. Everything sits nicely in place and feels good in the hand. All of this measures 144×81×34 mm and weighs 615 g. The offer is for the body only. Lens is not included.

Estimate:$616.7
