Manual focus SLR released by Canon in 1960. This is the "populaire" version of the Canonflex R and has a fixed pentaprism finder. It uses the Canomatic R mount, which is the precursor to FL and thus to FD. FD lenses will mount on this body but the aperture cannot be controlled. FL lenses with auto/manual switches can be used in manual mode. The original price (48,000 Yen) is the equivalent of over 1,700 Euro in 2023. Metal body available in silver.

• Shutter: Horizontal cloth focal plane, 1s - 1/1000s + B
• ISO: 6 - 3200 (Reminder only)
