What it is
{"overview":"The Canon VL-2 is a 35mm film rangefinder camera produced by Canon during the 1950s, fitted with the Leica-compatible 39mm screw mount used by Canon's rangefinder line of that era. Condition, working shutter speeds and rangefinder accuracy will move the price materially, and a clean, fully functional example with a matching Canon screw-mount lens would typically sell for more than a body-only example.","buying_guide":"On any 1950s Canon screw-mount rangefinder, check the cloth focal-plane shutter for pinholes, capping and accurate slow speeds, and confirm the rangefinder patch is bright and aligned both vertically and horizontally.
