What it is
{"overview":"The Hansa Canon is a 35mm rangefinder camera and the first production model to carry the Canon name, introduced in 1936. With so few public data points it is difficult to give a reliable price band today, and what an example sells for in 2026 will depend heavily on completeness, originality of the matched lens, and cosmetic condition.
