Canon VT Deluxe

The Canon VT Deluxe is a 35mm rangefinder camera with a Leica screw (M39) lens mount, introduced in 1957 as part of Canon's V-series. It retained the trigger-wind mechanism housed in the baseplate that defined the VT line and was positioned as an upper-tier model in Canon's rangefinder range of the late 1950s.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Canon VT Deluxe have sat broadly in the £120–£620 range, with a median closer to £170 based on 2024 results; the £620 outlier from 2021 reflects an exceptionally clean example rather than today's typical value. As of 2026, buyers should expect a working, cosmetically tidy body to sell for around £150–£200 at saleroom level, while rough or non-functional examples fetch less. Condition — particularly a clean cloth shutter curtain and a smooth trigger wind — is the dominant price driver, so the worth of any given body is tightly tied to mechanical health.
