Canon Canonet QL19 & 45mm 1.9

We service and restore all our old film cameras in our workshops in Lyon.

This model is the Canon Canonet QL19, a compact rangefinder camera with manual and semi-automatic (shutter priority) modes. It is very similar to its cousin, the QL17.

It has shutter speeds ranging from 1/4s to 1/500s and Bulb mode, with flash sync at 1/30s.

Completely overhauled: shutter, speeds, apertures, film advance, light meter, rangefinder... Please note: The camera shows slight signs of wear. Be careful with the light meter when there is a lot of light, as it may saturate and display an aperture greater than F16, thus preventing the shutter from firing. To resolve this, aim at an area where the setting drops back to F16, half-press the shutter (and hold), and then reframe your desired scene.

The lens is a Canon 45mm 1:1.9. No scratches or fungus. Please note: Some marks on the rear element (no impact on image quality).

A V625U battery is supplied with the camera body.

All our cameras are vintage: they may show signs of wear. The photos are there to best describe the condition of the items. Do not hesitate to contact us if you would like additional information.
