Canon VI-T?

[maxro]

So I picked up a couple 35mm cameras from my grandpa's house a while back, a Canon FTb and a Canon VI-T. From what I've been able to find out online the FTb is a fairly standard SLR from the 70s, but I really know nothing about this VI-T (or cameras in general, for that matter). Anybody have any experience with one of these?

The VI - T was actually used for photographing ballet for awhile but thats abour all i know

Well, quite literally it is a Leica 'copy'. It uses LTM (leica thread mount) lenses as all canon rangefinders did. It is not an SLR, you compose through the VF and frame lines not TTL

The baseplate lever for film advance ads 40 cool points towards the cam.

For the rest, it's not really special, rare but nothing that makes it a very desirably camera other than the lever.

Don't sell it, just use it.
