Canon VI-L with E.P mark, is it rare?

[roundg]

Hi, buddies,

I just purchased a Canon VI-L with the E.P mark, While I find almost all the VI-L pictures online are non-E.P version.

The E.P mark is on the cold shoe.

Is VI-L E.P a rare version?

The E.P. means that it was sold in the US "exchange post" system. Stores for the military service members and their families.

They don't seem to be any more or less rare/desirable than the unmarked versions.
