What it is

{"overview":"The Canon 7 is a 35mm rangefinder camera introduced in 1961, using the Leica screw mount (M39) and featuring a built-in selenium light meter. Check the rangefinder patch for contrast and alignment, the shutter curtains for pinholes, and the slow-speed escapement for accuracy. Without the f\/0.95, the body and a standard screw-mount 50mm typically sells for a few hundred pounds."},{"q":"Does the selenium meter affect the price?","a":"Yes.

Versions and how to tell them apart

Questions

Does the selenium meter affect the price?

Yes. A working meter is a meaningful value driver because replacement cells are not available, so bodies with dead meters tend to fetch the lower end of the price range.

Is the Canon 7 Leica screw mount compatible?

Yes, the Canon 7 uses the M39 Leica screw mount, so it accepts the wide range of LTM lenses from Canon, Leica, and other makers.
