Canon 7 Rangefinder Leica Screw Mount body
$280
Paypaled, shipped, and insured.

This camera fantastic shape both mechanically and cosmetically. I've had it for about 6 months and it has served me well. I used this camera with my 50mm f/0.95 lens, see examples taken with this combo here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/niimo/sets/72157602009483705/
I am now selling it because I am getting the lens converted to m-mount so I no longer have any lenses to use with this body.

Details:
Light meter: responsive and accurate.
Shutter speed: I used it from 1/15th to 1/1000 all accurate. At 1/2 and 1 it seems to lag a little, but otherwise sounds good.
Self timer: working.
Viewfinder: bright and clean, and framelines are very bright.
Shutter curtains: as is common with this camera, there are some wrinkles in the curtain, it is light tight and does not affect results at all. Rangefinder: it is accurate. The patch is not particularly bright, but focusing is still easy. I do notice at some angles vertically, the image patch is slightly off. This does not affect it's accuracy of course, because the patch moves horizontally.
Light seals: I change them myself so they are fresh and light tight.

The interior is clean and great looking. The exterior is in near mint condition, with a small bright mark on the bottom plate and some other minor bright marks near by the viewfinder eye piece. No dings or scratches, it is really in amazing shape! With the camera you will get the strap and a generic screw mount lens cap (not shown).

If I've left anything out, please contact me with any questions, thanks!
