Nicca, Canon 3-F + 2/35mm | レンジファインダーカメラ

History The Nicca 3-F is a prestigious Japanese rangefinder that represents the pinnacle of 1950s camera engineering, often compared to the Leica IIIf. This set includes the highly sought-after Canon 35mm f2 L39 lens. Known as the "Japanese Summicron," this lens is famous for its compact size and exceptional rendering, making it a favorite for both film enthusiasts and modern digital street photographers. Condition ・Canon 35mm f2 Lens (Serial No. 22165): GOOD. Optics: When inspected under strong LED light, there is slight haze around the outer edges (periphery). The center remains clear. No fungus or scratches. This should not significantly affect image quality in normal shooting conditions. Mechanical: Aperture blades are clean and the focus ring is smooth. ・Nicca 3-F Body (Serial No. 85538): FOR REPAIR / PROJECT. Mechanical: The shutter fires, but speeds are inconsistent and require service (CLA). Viewfinders: The left window (Rangefinder) is functional. The double image is clearly visible and aligns correctly, allowing for accurate focusing. The right window (framing) has some typical age-related haze. Cosmetic: Excellent aesthetic condition with very minimal wear. Specs Lens: Canon 35mm f/2.0 (L39 / LTM Mount) Body: Nicca 3-F Rangefinder Mount: LSM / LTM (Leica Screw Mount) Country of Origin: Japan Included: Camera body, Canon 35mm f2 lens, front filter. Shipping Direct shipment from Japan via DHL or EMS with full tracking and insurance. To International Buyers: Import duties, taxes, and VAT are the buyer's responsibility. We pack all items with extreme care to ensure the vintage optics are protected during transit.
