Canon 7 (Chrome with 0.95 50mm lens)

The Canon 7 is a 35mm rangefinder camera body that Canon paired with a Leica thread mount system supplemented by an external bayonet to support the 50mm f/0.95 lens. The kit listed here is the chrome Canon 7 body fitted with the 50mm f/0.95, a fast normal lens that was Canon's headline optic for this body when sold new.

Hammer prices at UK auction for this combination are scarce in the public record: the only verified sale on file fetched £600 in 2012, and that single data point is the entire basis for any current valuation. With so little recent saleroom evidence, sellers in 2026 should treat that figure as indicative rather than a reliable guide to what a clean example sells for today, since condition of both body and lens drives most of the value.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Canon 7 with the 50mm f/0.95 lens worth at UK auction?

The only verified UK auction record on file is a £600 hammer result from 2012, so a current price cannot be reliably stated from sales history alone.

How much does a Canon 7 0.95 outfit sell for today?

Public auction data is too thin to give a 2026 figure with confidence; the single recorded sale at £600 is the only datapoint, and condition of the f/0.95 lens is the dominant factor in value.

Does the 50mm f/0.95 fit other Leica thread mount cameras?

No. The f/0.95 uses Canon's external bayonet on the Canon 7 and 7s and will not mount to standard Leica thread mount bodies.
