Comment on Wanna See What’s Inside a Canon P? by R.C.Booth

Nikon, not Canon, used titanium shutter curtain material. All metal shutter Canon rangefinder cameras employed stainless steel foil shutter curtains. Metal curtains were first installed in the third VT Deluxe version, VI (T and L), P and 7 / 7s. I enjoy using these Canons but also have some Nikon rangefinders – they’re all good.

Thank you for your response. The flash sync confused me. I removed the slotted inner sleeve and then attempted to remove the two-eared flange piece with precision pliers and a piece of cut aluminum flashing to guard against scarring (camera is near mint) but no go. Must be on there really tight. Will try a little heat. I’ve got everything else off so this must be the problem. Just a note of caution, too, for others on the bottom retainer around the tripod socket. It was very tight on my camera and will scar easily. Take the time to make a proper tool.

James, did you remove all the screws or retainers which hold the top plate but the parts on the top plate? There aren’t too many of them. The rewind crank must be disassembled. Check that the flash sync terminal is also totally off. These are the two parts which I can imagine to have some parts which may appear to be part of the chassis or the top plate. The top plate easily lifts off.

I’m in the process of trying to remove the top on my Canon P but it’s stubborn. Can you offer any help/advice ?
