[Canon] VL | Film Cameras | March 1958

 

VL

VL

The VL used a silvered half-mirror prism similar to the late-model VT Deluxe. The silvered finish made the viewfinder image easier to see than a gold finish. The Canon VL is sometimes referred to as the VTDM, but the VL had a film advance lever on the top, instead of the winding trigger on the bottom of the camera like the VTDM. The VL was the top model in the V-series lineup.
