From the editor

The Canon Camera Museum lists 2 versions: the first from April 1962 and the second from July 1963. Both versions look the same and have the same dimensions and weight. We couldn't find any differences except for the infrared mark ("R"), which is missing from the depth-of-field scale of the second version.
