Canon IIF

The Canon IIF is a 35mm screwmount rangefinder camera produced by Canon in the early 1950s, using the Leica thread mount (M39) lens system. It was positioned as a mid-range model in Canon's rangefinder line of that period.

Sales data for the Canon IIF is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result from 2004 saw an example sell for £119. With only one historic data point, today's value is difficult to pin down with any precision, and what a Canon IIF is worth in 2026 will depend heavily on cosmetic condition, working rangefinder/shutter, and originality.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Canon IIF worth today?

Auction evidence is very limited, but the only recorded UK hammer price was £119 in 2004; current value will track the wider screwmount Canon rangefinder market and condition.

How much does a Canon IIF sell for at auction?

Only one verified UK auction sale is on record, at £119, so any price quoted today should be treated as indicative rather than a firm market level.

What lens mount does the Canon IIF use?

It uses the M39 Leica thread mount, so it accepts Canon screwmount lenses as well as other LTM-compatible optics.
