Canon VT black

The Canon VT is a 35mm rangefinder camera made by Canon for the Leica screw (M39) lens mount, introduced in the mid-1950s. The "VT black" refers to the black-finished version of the VT body, a less common finish than the standard chrome.

With only a single recorded UK auction hammer result in the dataset — £2,600 in 2008 — there is not enough recent saleroom activity to establish a reliable range or median for what a Canon VT black is worth today. Black-finish Canon screw-mount rangefinders typically sell for a substantial premium over chrome equivalents at auction, and current values for a clean example would need to be confirmed against fresh comparable sales rather than this lone historic price.
