Canon VI-T black

The Canon VI-T is a 35mm rangefinder camera using the Leica thread mount (LTM/M39), produced by Canon in the late 1950s. The black-finished version is the less common variant of a body that was otherwise typically supplied in chrome, positioned at the upper end of Canon's screw-mount rangefinder line.

Sales data for the black VI-T is extremely thin: a single UK auction record from October 2023 saw one fetch £1,700 at the hammer, which is wholesale level before buyer's premium. With only one data point to anchor the value, what a Canon VI-T black sells for today in 2026 depends heavily on cosmetic condition, original paint retention and whether the trigger-wind base is fully functional, and a wider price band should be expected once more results accumulate.
