Edwin Molenaar

Offered: rare IVSB2 Canon rangefinder camera with a 50 mm f 1: 1.8 Canon lens and a Universal viewfinder. 
The camera was produced during the period from July 1954 to July 1956 and is in very good condition. 
Camera has negligible signs of use. The difference with the earlier IVSB is mainly the larger viewfinder (eyepiece back). 

The Canon IVSB2F camera has a focal plane shutter with curtain, which opens and closes horizontally. The shutter speeds are: T, B, 1 - 1/1000. The shutter is cocked by the turning button on top on the camera. All shutter speeds work. Serial number of the camera is: 203328. 
Lens: a high-quality and valuable Canon 50 mm f 1: 1.8. Serial number: 128959. Lens is clear and scratch-free, diaphragm well adjustable. 
The viewfinder of the camera has three switchable magnification factors (button just below the rewind button): F, 1 x and 1.5 x 
Included with the camera is a Universal set-up viewfinder. 

According to Peter Dechert who wrote the book Canon Rangefinder cameras 1933-1968, the Canon IVSB2 is a better camera than the Leica III series. True of not, in the rangefinder camera market, the Canon rangefinders are highly appreciated as historical and top quality cameras.

Very good condition, negligible traces of use.

Rare Canon IVSB2 rangefinder camera with 50 mm f 1 : 1.8 lens and Universal viewfinder period 1954-1956.
