Selling my beloved Canon 7 with the rare 50mm F/0.95 lens, known as the 'dream lens'. As fast as the Leica Noctilux, it is a fantastic lens. It is a Leica M39 mount. This sale includes the original box, lens, rangefinder Canon 7, leather case with strap, lens cap, and even the original silica gel pack and warranty card and service centre card!
The lens is in excellent condition, it has real character and is sharp and so fast, with a unique rendering on film. The glass is perfect, no internal dust or anything else. Focus is smooth and weighty. Serviced previously by Aperture in London.
This is an original Canon 7 rangefinder camera and 50mm F/0.95 lens package as sold by Canon. It has seen very little use, and is in all round excellent condition apart from the leather case where it has a few surface rubs. The Canon 7 rangefinder (Leica M39 mount) camera is in excellent condition, working lightmeter, bright focus optics, and smooth mechanism with immaculately clean internals.
It is a great package and superb example of the original camera kit as released.
I am very much a reluctant seller, but I hope the winner enjoys owning this piece as much as I have.
