[Canon] III A | Film Cameras | April 1951

 

The improved version of the Canon III features a sleek, single-piece viewfinder mode selector lever, replacing the old two-piece design. The film advance knob now has vertical grooves instead of a diamond knurling pattern, and a film speed indicator dial has been added for a more luxurious touch.
