Canon 7 LTM L39 Rangefinder Camera - Body Only Exc!

The Canon 7 is one of the final and most advanced Canon rangefinders from the golden era of Japanese 35mm film cameras. Released in the 1960s, the Canon 7 is known for its rugged build, smooth operation, and compatibility with Leica Thread Mount (LTM/L39) lenses, making it a popular alternative to Leica M-mount rangefinders for shooters and collectors alike.

Built with a large, bright viewfinder, built-in diopter adjustment, and a full range of shutter speeds up to 1/1000s, the Canon 7 is a reliable, well-thought-out tool for serious rangefinder photographers.
