Canon S II Rangefinder - a photo on Flickriver

            I acquired this beautiful Canon S II rangefinder at an Estate sale in Kansas City last week.  I was first in line at this sale and was able to acquire all the items shown here plus two additional cameras.  The interesting thing about this sale is that the pictures for the sale listing were very blurry and the camera had a Leica lens cap mounted on it.  It took some detailed analysis of the picture to determine it was a Canon and not a Leica.  

Shown here is the Canon S II (#19024) dated to around 1947.  It has a 5cm Serenar f3.5 lens mounted on it.  I was also able to acquire a 13.5cm Serenar lens with case, and a 9cm f4 Ernst Leitz Wetzlar Elmar lens.  I was very pleased to also acquire the Ernst Leitz Wetzlar viewfinder that is mounted on the camera here.  The camera came with the original leather case and an original Canon lens shade/filter holder.  I've run two rolls of film through the camera and everything seems to work perfectly.  I was very pleased with this find and acquisition.
