Canon 7 (black)

The Canon 7 is a 35mm rangefinder camera introduced in 1961, using Canon's screw mount with an additional external bayonet for high-speed lenses. The black-finish version is a less commonly encountered variant of a body more usually found in chrome.

At UK auction, hammer prices for the black Canon 7 have ranged from £900 to £1,400, with a median around £1,000 — wholesale saleroom results rather than retail. As of today in 2026 the sample is thin and dated, so what a black Canon 7 is worth now depends heavily on cosmetic condition, working rangefinder and shutter, and whether the finish is original.
