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
Today.
I was curious about the transition of the manufacturer’s logo on Canon film SLR cameras, so I will write about it.
We will refer to the cameras on sale at our vintage shop Japan Inc.

This one was introduced in 1981.
It is almost the same as the previous logo, but the font seems to be a little thinner.

These are arranged side by side.

The difference between AE-1 and AV-1 may possibly just be that the letters appear thicker for the convenience of white letters for the black body.
We have sent you the transition of the manufacturer’s logo above.
We will continue to columnize on the manufacturer’s logo as it catches our attention, so stay tuned!
