Canon P

December 1958 - May 1961

Production: 87875 units
Serial numbers: 700000 - 798000

Produced from 1958 to 1961, the P was among Canon's last screw mount rangefinders, a modification of the VI-L. Incorporating many features into an attractively priced package, the P was Canon's best selling screw mount rangefinder until the Canon 7.

About 90,000 were produced. Like all, except the earliest Canon Rangefinders, it uses the Leica Screw Mount. Leica screw mount lenses or Canon screw mount lenses (and indeed ANY Leica Screw mount lens made by any maker) can be used.
