This camera was introduced in 1960.
Documents from the time of the launch can be found
within Canon’s official website
Details of the camera can be found
in the CANON CAMERA MUSEUM.
This camera is a vintage camera, 62 years old now.
That’s over half a century!
It remains in very good condition.
Motion.
The shutter is released according to the speed.
The self-timer also works.
The viewfinder is dirty.
Lens.
The focusing ring is very heavy.
The optics have small scratches and a little dust on the lens.
Once again, it was this time’s item that made us feel the
presence of Japanese-made vintage cameras.
Please have a vintage camera near you!
