Canon VT Camera

[randallstewart]

The trigger film advance system actually was available for three models over some six years. The IV bodies took an accessory bottom plate which incorporated the same winder, so-called Rapid Winder. The V had the mechanism incorporated (here), and the following VIT had the same. There was also a simple post-like accessory handle, about 3/4 inch in diameter and three inches long, which screws into the bottom tripod mount, allowing you to hold the camera and reach across the bottom plate to operate the trigger advance, all with one hand..

The Canon Vt was my very first 35mm camera. It was fantastic to use.

Canon 50/2.2! About four years younger (1961), made briefly as a less expensive lens for the Canon P.

0:43 Since previous Canon RF models were designated II, III, and IV, and the following model is designated VI, I think we can assume these are intended as Roman numerals and that we should pronounce the camera's name as "Five-Tee" rather than "Vee-Tee." Anyone disagree?

These are such good cameras. I've had a V L1 for a bit over a year now and love it.

Another great JVC that comes just at the time I was eyeing up a VT as an upgrade from my Oly 35 RC

Great inspirational and thorough review!

I like the bottom lever action lever (which was also implemented in Canonflex). Very handy for quick street photography. Got mine (with the 50/1.8) on an overall good user condition less than $200. A similar Leica IIIF/IIIG setup (with the Leicavit) easily costs 6 or 7 times, at least :p

Nice video. The Ricoh 500 from 1957 also have a bottom winding system. A bit different from the Canon though.

Just bought one of these online and received it today. Without sliding the rewind knob release, the rewind knob "falls" from the camera body when the camera is held upside down. It seems loose; the knob still pops up properly when the release is pushed, I'm just worried the rewind knob will fall from the camera body during the middle of the roll fr normal movement and result in overlapping frames.

Does your Canon VT have a loose rewind knob? When you turn the camera body upside down with the film door closed, does the rewind knob fall from the camera body?

Thanks!

I‘d never buy a Canon P over this. That thing is dope!

It's not Canon "vee" but Canon "five" !
