Canon IVS

The Canon IVS is a 35mm rangefinder camera with a screw-mount lens fitting, part of Canon's early rangefinder line produced in the 1950s before the company transitioned to its later bayonet-mount system. It was positioned as a Leica-style interchangeable-lens rangefinder for serious amateurs and professionals of the period.

At UK auction in recent years, hammer prices for the Canon IVS have ranged from around £88 to £120, with both recorded sales falling in that band. As of 2026, what a Canon IVS is worth at saleroom level depends heavily on cosmetic condition, shutter accuracy and whether a matched period lens is included; clean, fully-working bodies tend to sell for the upper end of that range.
