1. Canon IVsb rangefinder (~1953) in excellent mechanical and good cosmetic condition. LTM lens mount. This camera had a CLA and shutter curtain replacement in 2014 by Youxin Ye, and has functioned perfectly since then.
RF and VF are clean and focusing is accurate. Film wind is smooth and shutter speeds are accurate. For purposes of disclosure, I've noticed that the slow speeds get sluggish if the camera sits unused for more than a few months. Exercise the slow speeds a few times and everything is back up to speed. I compared the slow speeds to an electronically-timed shutter and they all look spot-on.
Cosmetically, some light corrosion on the chrome between the VF/RF windows, near the shutter speed dial and near the rewind knob (see photos). Small ding on the top plate near the "C" in Canon, very subtle. Otherwise, some normal usage wear for a 66-year old camera. Leatherette / vinyl covering is is perfect condition.
Includes take-up spool, body cap and leather Gordy's wrist strap. Asking $125.00, which includes shipping via USPS Priority mail in the US. PayPal payment preferred.
2. Canon 35mm chrome external viewfinder (1950's). Non-brightline version. Optics are clean and clear, cosmetically very clean.Parallax adjustment is smooth. Asking $60.00, which includes shipping via USPS Priority mail in the US. PayPal payment preferred.
I'll sell the camera and finder together for $165.00, which includes shipping via USPS Priority mail in the US.
Thanks for looking!
