DESCRIPTION

Vintage 1940's Canon IIB rangefinder camera in original leather case. Complete with its original Serenar f1.9 50mm lens this was the first Canon camera to have the ltd name which changed in 1947. The Canon IIB came out in 1949 and introduced an optical viewfinder with three modes. The viewfinder and rangefinder magnifies to .67X, 1X, or 1.5X with a magnification lever and has a semi universal lens mount. This collapsible lens has an M39 screw mount which fits into my Leica.
