Canon VTDZ

April 1957 - June 1958

​Production: 4875 units
Serial numbers: 540500 - 560000

​The second model of the VT Deluxe series came into being only two months after the first and remained in production for nine months longer. It is thus the most numerous of the series, but is nevertheless hardly plentiful. The trigger wind was slow to attract adherents once the L-models became available. Unlike the VTD, the Canon VTDZ has a magazine opening key in its baseplate. This model was not given a distinct designation by Canon although contemporary production summaries distinguished between the two.
