Canon Canonet with 45mm f/1.9, tested and working. Hello from Japan! We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world. The Canon Canonet (1961) is the camera that made Canon a household name: it sold out within two hours of going on sale and had to be rationed. Built around a fast 45mm f/1.9 lens with a selenium meter ringing the barrel and an unusual trigger-wind lever on the base plate, it brought rangefinder quality within reach of ordinary buyers and effectively created the Japanese compact-camera market. Important — please read carefully: Please note the selenium light meter is unstable — behaviour typical of ageing selenium cells. The camera itself operates properly and the optics and viewfinder have been cleaned internally. Please review the photos before bidding.
