The Canon J-II is a rare post-WWII 35mm viewfinder camera which utilized parts from earlier Canon J and S cameras to create a new, simplistic camera. This camera does not have slow shutter speeds due to the complicated mechanics necessary to add them.  While it does have a 39mm thread mount, this camera was actually marketed as using "J mount". Leica thread mount lenses will partially screw on, they cannot be fully mounted and trying to force them may cause damage.
