Canon Canonet QL25 Analogue camera

CANON CANONET QL25 - 45mm f/2.5 Lens - Working Light Meter - EXCELLENT CONDITION

I am selling a professional 35mm film analog camera by Canon, model Canonet QL25.
Year of production start: 1965, low serial number, one of the first models produced: 292301.

This vintage camera model is famous for its Quick Loading (QL) system, which makes film loading fast and safe, ideal for those seeking optical quality and timeless style. The device presents itself in excellent aesthetic condition.

[For utmost honesty, I note a very slight dent barely visible on the metal body near the loading lever (in the corner of the frame counter), which does not in any way compromise the overall aesthetics or perfect functioning.]

Technical and functional status:
Mechanical: Fully functioning in every part.
Light meter: Tested and perfectly operational.
Optics: Viewfinder clean, free from dust, mold, or other impediments.
Chambers: Battery chamber clean and free of oxidation; film chamber intact and clean.

Technical information:

- Objective: Canon SE 45mm f/2.5 (extremely sharp lenses).
- Shutter: Copal with speeds from 1/15 to 1/500 + B setting.
- QL system: Quick Loading for rapid film loading.
- Focusing: Rangefinder with bright viewfinder.
- Power supply: Prepared with adapter for common LR44 batteries.
- Weight: Solid metal construction (725g).

The camera is ready to use, ideal for street photography or for collectors of brands like Nikon, Leica, Olympus, or Minolta who are seeking an iconic device.

Included in the auction:
- Canonet QL25 camera body.
- Original Canon lens cap.
- Original leather case with strap (in excellent condition).
- LR44 battery adapter.

I guarantee professional and careful packaging to protect the fragility of the item during transport.

Note:
This analog camera for the light meter operated with PX625 1.35V batteries, which are no longer produced. The auction includes an adapter for LR44 batteries that allows the use of these common batteries still purchasable today instead of the old PX625s. The issue is that LR44s have a different voltage (1.5V); therefore, if you use them you must adjust the ASA to compensate for the voltage difference to obtain correct exposure. This is something that happens with all vintage cameras from the 1960s that used these old batteries no longer in production.

GOOD LUCK WITH THE AUCTION TO ALL."
