Description from the seller
Canon Canonet 19 rangefinder film camera with 45mm f/1.9 lens, Made in Japan, tested and working.
Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.
The Canon Canonet, released in 1961 with a 45mm f/1.9 lens, was Canon's first entry into the intermediate-class market and the founding model of the hugely successful Canonet rangefinder series. It offered shutter-speed-priority automatic exposure via a selenium meter ringing the five-element 45mm f/1.9 lens, paired with a Copal SV shutter running from 1 second to 1/500. Distinctive details include the film-advance lever and rewind crank mounted underneath the body. Initial stocks reportedly sold out within two hours, and over a million units were sold within a few years, making it a landmark Japanese camera.
Condition: USED — Excellent
Pre-owned in very clean condition. The lens and viewfinder are beautiful, the rangefinder double-image and the light meter both work correctly.
