Canon VIL

The Canon VI-L is a 35mm rangefinder camera using the Leica screw mount (M39), produced by Canon in the late 1950s. It was part of Canon's V-series of interchangeable-lens rangefinders aimed at advanced users.

With only a single recorded UK saleroom result — £700 in 2011 — the market reference point for the VI-L is thin, and that hammer figure reflects wholesale auction level rather than a dealer's retail asking price. Today the model trades infrequently enough that value is highly dependent on cosmetic condition, working shutter, and rangefinder accuracy, and a clean working example is what a buyer should expect to pay a premium for. Buyers asking how much a Canon VI-L sells for should treat the 2011 result as indicative rather than current.
