Adventures with a Canon III

[Nick De Marco]

Bought one of these early 1950s rangefinders some time ago on ebay. Finally got around to using it, with a Canon f1.8 lens and an old Leica lens. I must say I was blown away with the results. Nice little camera.

Please take a look at the gallery: http://www.pbase.com/nickdemarco/canon_iii

Thanks xayraa. I was wondering about that having read the link airds helpfully points out and narrowing it don to a III or IIIA but not sure which one.
