Canon VT de Luxe (Chrome)

The Canon VT de Luxe is a 35mm rangefinder camera produced by Canon in the late 1950s, using the Leica-compatible M39 screw mount. It was a higher-specification version of the VT, positioned in Canon's top-tier rangefinder line when new.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the chrome VT de Luxe have ranged from around £110 to £430, with a median near £260 across the three recorded sales. These are saleroom results rather than retail figures, and as of today values remain strongly condition-sensitive, with clean, fully working bodies sitting at the upper end of what this model sells for.
