Canon Canonet (Original) — Canon's First Intermediate-Class Camera Hello from Japan! We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world. The original Canon Canonet, released in January 1961, was Canon's first entry into the consumer camera market. It caused a sensation in the camera industry — a week's supply sold out in just two hours at launch. Featuring a fast Canon SE 45mm f/1.9 lens, shutter-priority auto exposure via a selenium meter, and rangefinder focusing, the Canonet offered high-end quality at an affordable price. It became a massive hit, selling one million units within two and a half years. Light seals have been replaced. ======================================== ■ Condition: USED — Good Pre-owned with age-appropriate wear.
