Canon VT de Luxe

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.

Sales History

Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher. How this figure is calculated.

Based on 12 recorded sales.

Rows marked offer accepted did sell, on the date shown, but eBay does not publish the amount that was accepted. The figure we show is what the seller was asking, so the true sale price was lower — treat it as an upper bound. These rows are excluded from every price range, average and valuation on this site.
