Canon IID2

The Canon IID2 is a 35mm rangefinder camera with a Leica-style screw mount (M39/LTM), produced by Canon in Japan during the early 1950s. It sat in Canon's interchangeable-lens rangefinder range as a mid-tier body aimed at serious amateurs and working photographers.

Hammer prices for the Canon IID2 at recent UK auction span roughly £220–£500, with sales clustered at the lower end more recently; the two recorded results give a midpoint near £360 at saleroom level. Because this is a thin dataset stretching back to 2005, today's realistic value for a clean, working IID2 is best judged against the £220 recent sale rather than the older £500 figure, and condition of the shutter curtains and rangefinder optics drives where any given body sells for within that band.
