The Canon 7s is the final model of Canon's focal-plane rangefinder cameras, introduced in January 1965 as the successor to the Canon 7. A limited number of black-painted models were also produced.
While retaining the core performance of the Canon 7, the exposure meter was upgraded from selenium to CdS, and an accessory shoe was added in response to popular demand. Additionally, the tripod screw position was relocated. It is said that approximately 20,000 units were produced, only one-sixth of the production volume of the Canon 7.
The camera features a selectable bright frame for 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 100mm, and 135mm lenses, with automatic parallax correction. The exposure meter is coupled with the shutter speed, allowing for a needle-matching system to read aperture values. Furthermore, it retains the Canon 7's unique bayonet mount, compatible with the 50mm f/0.95 lens and Mirror Box 2.
This camera stands out as an excellent choice for practical use.
There are minor scuff marks on the sides of the top cover and the bottom plate due to use, but no noticeable dents or significant scratches. Overall, the exterior is in relatively good condition.
All functions operate normally, and the exposure meter shows values that are approximately accurate. The viewfinder has slight haze, but the contrast of the double image remains strong, making it perfectly suitable for practical use.
While a strap is not included, a leather case compatible with the Canon 50mm f/0.95 lens is provided.
