Speaking of vintage cameras, rangefinder cameras!
This time, we would like to introduce a 1961 Canon rangefinder camera for sale at our Vintage Shop Japan Inc.
<What is a rangefinder camera?>
This camera has a built-in rangefinder inside the camera, and according to the distance, the camera uses a focusing ring to adjust and superimpose the subject seen through the two windows in the front of the camera.
For more information on rangefinder cameras, see the column below.

<appeal point>
This Canonet was released in 1961, but the body and lens are so beautiful that it is hard to believe that the camera is 62 years old.
I have decided to keep this camera as is because I am not familiar with the operation of this type of rangefinder camera, but the basic parts of the camera work, so I think it can be used for photography.
And the weight of the camera is very heavy, but if you think of it as the weight of half a century of life, it feels light (laughs).
This time, we introduced the 1961 Canon rangefinder camera that is on sale at our Vintage Shop Japan Inc.
