Black Canon 7s

[lmd91343]

Here is a black Canon 7s.

I did not know Canon made a black 7s. 😕

I don't know if this is factory black. Look at the following details:

o Looks like black over chrome in wear on the top plate
o look at ST lever - no white dot
o look at strap lugs - they are chrome, factory black 7 had black paint
o look at ST screw - all chrome, was all black on 7
o chrome under black on bottom plate
o lever on rewind knob is black, was chrome on 7
o wind lever screw is funny color
o frameline selector has white numbers, 7 had white
o frameline selector ring is black with chrome wear, 7 was chrome

It looks ugly for a $1000+ camera.

It has definatly been painted. A bad job at that. It looks like it was painted with model paint. It is not an origanal factory black. However, it is a canon 7s, which is very cool even if it has been painted. On the down side it does not have the 50mm f.95 dream lens.

Its not a factory black as the Canon 7s was only available in chrome.
