Canon IVF
The Canon IVF is a 35mm rangefinder camera using the Leica M39 screw mount, produced by Canon during the 1950s as part of its post-war screw-mount rangefinder line aimed at advanced amateurs and professionals.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Canon IVF have ranged from about £81 to £200, with the two recorded sales averaging roughly £140. As of 2026 the model remains condition-sensitive at saleroom level, and clean working bodies sell for noticeably more than examples showing haze, shutter issues, or rangefinder misalignment.
