Canon IIF2
The Canon IIF2 is a 35mm rangefinder camera with a Leica-compatible screw mount, part of Canon's screw-mount rangefinder line produced in the 1950s. It sat in the company's mid-tier rangefinder range during a period when Canon was building its reputation in the precision camera market.
Auction data for the IIF2 is thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result of £402 (Christie's, 1999) is the only firm data point, so today's worth must be read against that lone wholesale-level figure rather than a current trend. Buyers searching for what a Canon IIF2 sells for should treat that price as historic context only, since condition, completeness and originality drive value far more than headline figures on this model.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Canon IIF2 worth in 2026?
The only verified UK auction hammer result on file is £402 from 1999, so a precise current value cannot be given; condition and completeness will dominate any price a clean example achieves today.
How much does a Canon IIF2 sell for at auction?
Recorded sales are extremely limited, with one hammer price of £402 at Christie's documented; buyers should expect price to vary widely with shutter health and cosmetic condition.
Is the Canon IIF2 a Leica screw mount camera?
Yes, it is a Canon screw-mount rangefinder, compatible with the 39mm Leica thread mount lens system.
