Canon Canonet QL25 Analogue camera

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

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

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

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

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

Technical information:

- Objective: Canon SE 45mm f/2.5 (very sharp lenses).

- Shutter: Copal with speeds from 1/15 to 1/500 + B exposure.

- QL System: Quick Loading for rapid film loading.

- Focusing: Rangefinder with bright viewfinder.

- Power: 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 seek an iconic device.

Contents of the listing:
- Canonet QL25 body.
- Original Canon lens cap.
- Original leather case with shoulder strap (in excellent condition).
- LR44 battery adapter.

I guarantee professional and careful packing to protect the delicacy of the item during transport.

Note:
This analog camera, to make the exposure meter work, used PX625 1.35V batteries which are no longer manufactured. Included in the listing is an adapter for LR44 batteries that allows using these common batteries available today instead of the old PX625.
The issue is that LR44 have a different voltage (1.5V); therefore, if you use them you must adjust the ASA to compensate for the voltage difference to achieve correct photo exposure.
This is a thing that happens with all vintage cameras from the 60s that used these old batteries no longer in production.

GOOD AUCTION TO ALL.
