Pentaprism???

[blenderbender]

Hi... I've been selling some of my late Father's camera gear on ebay and I've come across this one item in particular that I can't seem to ID. I think it's a Canon Pentaprism but not 100% certain. It has absolutely no markings other than "Canon" on it. I don't know how to list it properly and am turning to this forum for some input. I have no idea if it is camera specific or not. I know he had a Canon EOS 10D and a Canon Powershot Pro 1, as well as some earlier Canon film cameras before he went digital. I've attached a couple pics.... the pen in the pics is for size perspective. If anyone can point me in the right direction for further info I would be very appreciative.

thanks.... Gary

That definitely looks like a pentaprism viewfinder to me, possibly for a medium format camera. I dont know which camera system this would fit (and I didn't know that Canon made a medium format camera in the first place).

This should help it is a pentaprism for the Canon F1 35mm film camera.

It will fit a Canon F1 35mm camera

That's a 35mm viewfinder? I need to work on my size estimation skills.

As far as I know, Canon never made any medium format cameras.

I didn't think so either, but that pentaprism somehow looked bigger to me than one for a 35 mm camera.
