Canon's trigger-wind rangefinder — the VT, base film advance, Leica-thread, cloth shutter, 1956.

The Canon VT was a 35mm screw-mount rangefinder introduced in 1956, notable for its bottom-mounted trigger film-wind lever that let the user advance film rapidly with the right hand. It was a higher-tier body in Canon's V-series Leica-thread line.

It is a 35mm coupled-rangefinder camera taking Leica-thread lenses, with a horizontal-travel cloth focal-plane shutter and no built-in meter. It features the base trigger wind for fast advance, a combined rangefinder and viewfinder window with switchable magnification, and a fully mechanical shutter that needs no battery.

It suits collectors and photographers who want a Leica-thread rangefinder with quick trigger advance for street and reportage use. The bottom trigger changes the shooting rhythm compared with a top wind lever and supports rapid sequential exposures.

Check the trigger-wind mechanism operates smoothly, as it is a distinctive and wear-prone part. Verify rangefinder patch contrast and vertical alignment, inspect the cloth curtains for pinholes and capping, test slow speeds, and look for finder haze. Leica-thread lenses adapt to mirrorless via LTM adapters; confirm a clean thread mount.
