Canon "P" Range Finder with 50mmf1.4 interchangeable lens. Late fifties. Very solid well made camera

I was given this, and it is in good condition. The titanium shutter is less wrinkled than most I have seen. The only fault is that when the self timer runs down, it doesn't fire the shutter.

A review, this bloke always says don't use the self timer.

This is good advice and applies to many other vintage cameras as well.

I pretend my Canon P is the Leica M2 I never got.

Ha Ha, nice one, yes there are similarities, the P is not cheap, around the AU$600 mark on eBay, having said that the M2 is around AU$5000-6000
