Introduced in Jan 1961 a weeks worth of stock was sold in 2 hours. came with a fast f1.9 lens, in two and a half years Canon sold one million of them.

The example I have is a gift from a friend I have put one film through the images are rubbish but the quality is good due to the camera :).

Came with a lens hood the meter must have died some time back the rangefinder framing works but the split image is a bit iffy as is the film counter still easy to use and works a treat even after 50 years.
