at first

I’m sorry

Because we can’t speak english

I am using DeepL translate, so it may be a strange sentence,

but I would like you to understand

Thank you



The most visible part of a film SLR camera is the eye-level finder at the top of the body.
This is the part with the manufacturer’s logo.


In this article, we would like to focus on Canon’s eye-level finder design.


For more information on film SLR cameras, please refer to the following column.

We will use the cameras on sale at our vintage shop Japan Inc.

Front. Manufacturer’s logo is on the underside.


This is an angle from an angle.


It is basically a linear surface design.


Viewed from a slightly oblique angle.


When viewed from the side, it can be seen that the area near the top has a slightly curved treatment.


From directly above.


It is integrated with the viewfinder on the back side.



The Canonflex RP was released in 1960, with a fixed eye-level finder and basically straight lines. I think it was a time when a conservative design was sufficient.

From this point on, camera designs will gradually change.
Stay tuned as we will continue to discuss eye-level viewfinder designs from different manufacturers!



In addition to the film SLR cameras introduced this time, we also sell vintage cameras and lenses, anime goods, and radio cassette players, so please see the URL below.
