Canon IIS2

The Canon IIS2 is a 35mm rangefinder camera using the Leica thread (M39) screw mount, produced by Canon in the mid-1950s as part of the company's II-series of interchangeable-lens rangefinders. When new it sat in Canon's mid-tier rangefinder line, offering compatibility with the wide pool of LTM lenses available at the time.

Hammer prices for the Canon IIS2 at UK auction have spanned roughly £160 to £390, with the two recorded results sitting either side of a £270 midpoint — note these are wholesale saleroom figures before buyer's premium, not retail dealer asking prices. Today in 2026 values are highly condition-sensitive: clean, fully-working bodies sell for the upper end of that range, while examples with shutter or rangefinder faults trade well below it.
