[Canon] III | Film Cameras | February 1951

 

The Canon III, an enhanced version of the II C, featured a fixed-position shutter curtain that remained in place after film advancement. This design became a hallmark of high-end 35mm cameras and allowed for a fast shutter speed of 1/1000 sec. Its exterior boasted a premium finish, including optimized metal, high-precision machining, standardized parts, improved paint, plating, and synthetic leather.
