    $20 camera flea market find

    here's a little jewel I picked up at the flea market today........Thought I was buying a junk camera just for the lenses BUT ended up with a Canon VI-T with black body, ..........got all the lens covers and leather cases for everything.......this particular model was produced between "58 and '60, only 8175 of these were made and only a handfull of those were the solid black case...... just the body alone books for $3400 - 3600 in this condition....mint woulda been $6000 plus.... would have been cosidered mint condition if the guy hadn't engraved his name in the back......but of course I have no expectations of getting that much lol

    Did you test it ? did you get good pics from it? can't be considered mint unless you can show that it works an takes good pics... If not then it's not considered mint...

    yes the camera does work.... but the name inscribed in the back is the main thing that is wrong with it...... i know it isn't mint but without the name it would have been dang close
