This is a Beauty of a vintage Canon 7s 35mm format Film Rangefinder Camera--- made from 1964-1967--- the last in the series of Canon Rangefinder cameras that go back to the 1930's.  It is very similar to the Leica M3, in size, weight and function--- like it was made to compete with it (imagine that!).   It takes Leica screwmount lenses--- (known as LTM)--- and it can be yours for about 1/4 of the cost of an M3.


It's in Excellent Condition with just a couple noteworthy issues.  It is working fairly well as far as I can tell---- checked it out with "dry" shooting (I haven't shot real film with it).   First the Cosmetics--- there are a few very light cosmetic marks here and there--- mostly barely noticeable.  There is a very slight ding/impression on the top--- to the left of the accessory shoe.  The shoe looks to be pitched downward a little--- not sure if that's normal---- this is the only one I've ever had so I can't compare.   Aside from that, that's about it for cosmetic issues---- most of them are very mild--- can barely be seen in the photos.


Mechanically--- in my functional "dry" testing---- I can tell you it winds crisply and nicely and the shutter fires, but not perfectly at all the speeds--- the 1/8 second is sticky sometimes and 1/4 and slower stick open most times.  The two fastest speeds make a good cycling sound, but I don't see a glimpse of light as it does, so maybe they're not traveling (and the others have not be calibrated/tested for accuracy).   The shutter curtains are metal--- are light tight and smooth and flat.   There is a scuff on one of them but not dents or wrinkles.    And like I said, it works to a limited degree with "dry" testing--- winds smoothly, but it should definitely get servicing, and it has not been used in Actual Shooting.   The viewfinder is bright and with perfectly functioning frame lines, with a good rangefinder split image, although it is rather askew by a significant amount.  But the distances are spot-on.  The self-timer works fine--- goes about 10 seconds and it's clean inside the film chamber.   But I don't know if the lightmeter works. The battery compartment is clean, but I don't have a battery.


Edit:   The last photo is an actual shot through the viewfinder showing the skewed Alignment of the rangefinder image.  The round thing in the middle of the image is a flash-attachment on a Kodak Retina about 12 feet away.  As you can see, the alignment is off going straight up and down, but that does not make it unusable.


So it's Not 100% Mint but it's in Excellent shape with some caveats,  and it can be used to shoot with in a limited way, or it can be a nice piece for you collection.   What you see is what you'll get--- the actual item for sale is pictured.... Not stock photos.   Also included the Instruction book--- In EXCELLENT Condition--- a Rare Find in such Nice Condition.

Continental US Shipping will be $11.50.  It will be packed well and safe--- lots of bubble wrap, in a box like a fortress.   International Shipping via the ebay program.


PLEASE READ THIS--- By Bidding you Agree that:  I am not Amazon or a professional Camera Store seller--- just a pragmatic collector/shooter selling some Used items.  I'm not here trying to rip anybody off or sneak one past you.    But that said... I'm not into having things go back and forth based on opinion, or risk "part swapping."   So I'm sorry, I can't sell this item on Approval, it's being sold As Is, No Warranty, No Buyers Remorse, No Try-outs, No Returns.   I've been a photographer for 35+ years and I know how cameras work and what to look for.  But I can't "Bench Test" every thing to factory specs and unless it's Brand New... I can't guarantee that every single aspect may be Perfect... especially when it's a 50+ year old item!  This is an Old, Used Camera and any significant defects that I know of are either pictured or described to the best of my knowledge.  I try to be detailed and truthful but I can't describe every millimeter of it, so there may be a nick or blemish or a few specs of dust that I failed to mention... but they would hardly diminish it... unless you expect everything to be like new and 100% Perfect when it was said not to be.    What you see is what you'll get and I package my items well, so it arrives in the same condition as shown.
