Description from the seller
# Canon Canonet QL17 Rangefinder Camera with Original Case
A classic and highly collectible Canon Canonet QL17 rangefinder camera from the late 1960s. This iconic model is equipped with the fast Canon SE 45mm f/1.7 lens, renowned for its excellent image quality and low-light performance.
The camera has been tested for basic functionality. The shutter fires and operates across the available speeds. The lens appears clear and the camera presents very well for its age. Included is the original Canon leather ever-ready case and Canon lens cap.
The Canonet QL17 is one of Canon's most sought-after fixed-lens rangefinders and remains popular among collectors and analogue photography enthusiasts alike.
