Canon LTM Show me your Canon RF camera

Canon M39 M39 screw mount bodies/lenses
My new Canon P with 50 f1.8 Serenar lens. I also own a Japanese Summilux which I use on my Leica M4-2 with adapter. All I really need is nice 100 f3.5 lens and I'm set because I own a screw mount Voightlander 35 f2.5 Skopar lens that has been on tons of adventures with me in the eight years I have owned it.

Try the canon 135 - awkward but the results... just the results
 
Why everyone has a Canon P? I bought my 1st Canon rangefinder camera yesterday.The seller told me it is a VL-2. It cost about twice as much as a worn Canon 7 in the same shop at about $200, but it is in much better condition.:) I'd like to know how many pieces were ever made? The camera has a precision feel to it than that of Canon 7.

The Russian Industar-50 was not included.

Cheers





 
Uploading pictures here is really confusing :bang:.
Why not just a browse function to find pics on your computer, instead of all this techno babble with the url business...where do you find them?
This is the rangefinder Forum and we should be a bit more old fashioned on the picture front :confused:
 
As an answer to the "Why do so many have the Canon P?" question, it was popular! It's relatively simple and more common than any single earlier Canon RF, has a high magnification finder so focuses accurately and it's "cute" more so than the 7.

My III-A, with friends. I shot with this outdoors last Friday at the Sno-Drift car rally. Worked flawlessly in 25 F degree weather.

Just curious, between holding the grip and the trigger winder, how do you focus? With the 25mm lens you show in the photo, via scale focus?

On this particular occasion, I did scale focus. Most all of the pics were at F8, so I set the focus at about six feet, and shot away.

I do like the trigger wind. Much faster than the standard knob wind. And focusing is actually no big deal, once you advance the film, you focus and take the pic.
