Canon 7S (Chrome)

The Canon 7S (Chrome) is a 35mm rangefinder camera from Canon's screw-mount and bayonet rangefinder line, sold in a chrome finish body. It succeeded the Canon 7 in the mid-1960s and was offered as a higher-specification rangefinder aimed at enthusiast photographers.

Hammer prices at UK auction for the Canon 7S in chrome have ranged from roughly £330 to £600, with a median around £470 based on the limited records to hand. Values today are highly condition-sensitive: clean, working bodies with bright finders sell for noticeably more than examples with haze, dim rangefinder patches or meter faults, and prices at saleroom level exclude buyer's premium.
