The second shutter curtain is wavy and cracked. Slow speeds don't work at all and fast speeds are unreliable. A previous owner installed a PC sync port next to the slow speed dial. The rangefinder is out of calibration. The lens has heavy internal haze, a few fungus spots inside, and scratches on the outer elements. The infinity focus locking pin is missing. The kit is generally in good cosmetic condition for a collector and comes with the original leather case.

Details: Canon S-II + 5cm f2 Serenar

Manual focus LTM/M39 mount 35mm rangefinder camera released by Canon in 1946. This was the first camera made by Canon after World War II and was the first Canon camera with an English name designation. It combined the rangefinder and viewfinder. The lenses are interchangeable, but proper focusing is not guaranteed on all models due to the non-standard lens flange distance. Early bodies were calibrated in the factory to work with the lens they were sold alongside. The S-II was available with a Serenar 5cm f2 or f3.5 lens. Metal body available in silver.

  • Shutter: Horizontal cloth focal plane, 1s - 1/500s + B
  • Size: 136 x 69 x 33 mm
  • Weight: 462g (w/o lens)

LTM / M39 System

M39 is a screw-type mount system originally designed by Oskar Barnack for Leica cameras in the 1930s. These Leica Thread Mount (LTM) camera bodies attach lenses using a 39mm threaded screw mount.

This mount was the prominent rangefinder mount for Leica until 1953 when the M3 debuted. The M Mount bayonet spelled the end for Leica’s thread mount cameras, although other manufacturers, like Canon, Leotax, and Zorki, continued to use the M39 mount for their cameras.

There are some early Soviet SLRs that also use a 39mm thread mount called M39. Lenses for this system are incompatible with M39 rangefinder lenses, and vice versa, due to differences in flange distance.

M39 rangefinder lenses can be easily adapted to mirrorless camera systems.
