AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Canon VT Deluxe rangefinder camera, 35mm compact with a slit shutter. LTM - M39, lots of lenses to choose from.
Integrated coincidence-rangefinder with inverted Galilean viewfinder, rotatable to set one of three magnifications. This is a turret viewfinder with a rotating mechanism to switch between the different focal lengths (35mm, 50 and 90/135) without needing an external finder. In the accessory shoe there is an auto-coupling for parallax correction for the finder. On the bottom plate is the unique trigger-winder (LeicaVID minimum 1000 euro) for rapid film advancement. Normal transport is also possible via the dial on the top right. The finder is a joy. No hassle with frame lines that are hard to see in low light. Just instantly good 35 or 50 frame or super magnification for the double-image system for focusing. That is the strength of this type of camera! Then easy film loading with a rotatable back door and clever locking. Absolutely all unique and no room for improvement. Everything sits well in place and feels good in the hand. This all measures 144x81x34mm and weighs 615 grams.
The offer is for the body only. Lens not included.
