A nice kit, the photographs look good too. Does this Canon have a threaded fixture for a small orange filter for better focusing?

I don't know about the Canon P, but if you're talking about the OKARO contrast filters that go on Leica Barnack cameras, those aren't threaded either. It's just a push-on friction fit that slips over the rangefinder window.

Anyway, OP has a nice looking kit. Good luck with the sale!

Nice price for the body and 50mm – focusing and framing is great using the 1:1 viewfinder. GLWS.
