Canon II A

March 1952 - September 1952

Production: 99 units
Serial numbers: 64255 - 73500

Stripped-down version of the IV S with no flash synchronization, no slow shutter speeds below 1/8 sec., and no speeds faster than 1/500 sec. It was thus more affordable. About 300 units were produced. The cameras were made-to-order for Jardine Matheson Co., a British trading company which sold the cameras mainly in the Oceania market. The slow shutter speed dial hole was covered by a round metal patch covered with the same synthetic leather covering on the camera body. This round patch was made of brass with matte chrome-plating.
