AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A classic early Canonet-style 35mm rangefinder fitted with the fast Canon Lens SE 45mm f/1.9. This model features the distinctive honeycomb-style selenium (battery-free) light meter around the lens, making it a wonderful fully mechanical vintage shooter for collectors and film enthusiasts.

Shutter: Fires
Shutter speeds: Change audibly / appear to vary (accuracy not measured)
