It is over 50 years old. Looks very clean, but it is a piece of mechanical equipment. The shutter works and all dials work. Has synchronization parts in back of camer. Information on this camera. Princely when you remember he was probably making two bucks an hour. Viewfinder is really a misnomer. The viewfinder actually measured 1/8 inch by. Inch and uses a split image rangefinder for focusing. The sports finder was somewhat of a help but focus had to be done before you took the picture. It is ironic in a way that at the same time Leitz introduced the M3, exemplar of what we now perceive to be the final wave of rangefinder camera design, Canon were easing into production what surely was the finest bottom-loading 35mm rangefinder camera anyone has ever built. The Canon IVSB2 was introduced to the market in March 1954. The “2” of all of these models was intended to indicate that these were improvements of the IVSB, the IIS, IID and IIF. But they were more than that. These cameras included a number of important innovations. A new shutter was introduced. The split between high and low speed dials was a 1/30 second, and X flash synchronization was added to the fast dial with a synchronization speed of 1/45 second. The high shutter speeds of the new shutter could be set with the shutter cocked or uncocked. Electronic strobe flash synchronization was improved. The viewfinder and its eyepiece was improved for better visibility. Camera bodies were made more rugged. The New Shutter of 1954. The Canon shutter mechanism introduced in 1954 retained the split high-speed dial on the camera top and slow speed dial on the camera front. Now, however, the split between dials was a 1/30 second. Also X flash synchronization was added to the fast dial with a red X between 30 and 60. The synchronization speed was about 1/45 second. This was a higher flash synchronization speed – previous synchronized Canons had a synchronization shutter speed of 1/15 second. With this new shutter, the synchronization being increased to 1/45 second reduced the possibility of’ghosts’ during exposure. This had previously occurred when a’ghost’ image was captured from available light during a slow shutter speed along with the flash image. The new shutter also retained an X on the slow speed dial between 15 and 30 for synchonization with some strobe lights. Early electronic strobe lights sometimes had a delay in firing and this slower exposure time (about 1/20 second) allowed for such electronic strobes to be synchronized. The slow speed dial now had a lock to secure the dial while fast shutter speeds were being used. IVs: 1952.4-1953.5 (about 4,900 produced). IVSB: 1952.12-1955.3 (about 35,000 produced).
