Canon built the Canonet family from 1965 into the 1980s and sold them in enormous numbers — over 1.2 million of the final G-III version alone — because the formula was hard to beat: a bright f\/1.7 lens, a quiet leaf shutter, a proper coupled rangefinder, and the QL (Quick Loading) system that made loading film a matter of laying the leader down and closing the back. Compact, quiet and completely at home on the street.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Fixed-lens coupled rangefinder, 35mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens: Canon 40mm f\/1.7, 6 elements in 4 groups, f\/1.7 to f\/16 (the earliest 1965 original carries a 45mm f\/1.7 — check the engraving on the front ring)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShutter: Copal leaf shutter, 1\/4s to 1\/500s + Bulb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlash sync: X sync at all speeds, hotshoe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetering: CdS cell above the lens, needle readout in the viewfinder, EV 3.5-17 at ASA 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilm speed: ASA 25-800\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoading: Canon QL Quick Loading system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: Designed for a 1.35V PX625 mercury cell, no longer manufactured\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approximately 620g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCosmetic: Very good condition, with some signs of age and use.

Note also the ASA 25-800 film-speed range, which rules out ISO 1600 stock.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Canon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50359330242663,"sku":"L-0353","price":9000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/0793\/9943\/files\/DSC_6603.jpg?v=1790901393","url":"https:\/\/v2.filmcam.in\/products\/canon-canonet-ql17-rangefinder-l0353","provider":"filmcameras.In","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
