p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Canon Model IV Rangefinder value?


I'm trying to gauge a value for this rangefinder kit that I want to list in the buy/sell section. Here's what I know:

- It's a Canon Model IV Rangefinder (no letters after) and it seems there were only 1,400 made.

- I saw the body on eBay a year or so ago and it went for over $300. (There's on on eBay right now that's labeled a IV, but it's not. The vertical lines on the knobs are the giveaway; the IV has diamonds). Here's where I read about identifiers: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/iannorris/leica_copies/leica_copies_c/canon4.htm

- The lens averages in the neighborhood of $100.

- The flash tester and spare bulbs go for around $30.

- The light meter goes for around $25.

- The manual is $25-30.

- The closest flash setup I've seen sell was a few years newer and went for a little more than $50 (it didn't come with unpopped bulbs).

- The kit case and camera case are pretty rough, so I doubt they hold much value, but they're neat.

Since a lot of the kit is stuff you don't see very often, I'm having a hard time setting a price for some collector out there. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

An uncommon product with a small number of buyers means the prices will fluctuate and really depend on finding an interested buyer at the time. You may find an elderly person that has nostalgia for such antiques and is willing to pay a decent amount. Good luck.

For the sweet nostalgia of yesteryear's ownership to kick in, that elderly person would need to be pushing 90...
