Years ago, my father gave me a Canon IV-SB with lots of neat stuff, 35, 50, 85 and 100 mm lenses; universal finder, Canon rapid winder; auto-ups and flash unit. I shoot a couple rolls a year to keep it in good working order. I'm always happy with the results, however it is a pain to use sometimes - - squinty little view finder, parallax adjustments and not really practical for electronic flash. Recently I decided to look for a more advanced screw-mount rangefinder body. Never heard of Canon Model 7 until I read Stephen Gandy's Camera Quest. I found and purchased a very nice one with a 50mm 1:1.2 for a reasonable price on the net. The camera is a joy to use and I've taken some very nice black and white. Chuck
