Hi, does anyone know where I can get light seals for a Canon Canonet G III QL17 35mm Rangefinder Film Camera. Tried ebay with no luck. Thanks

Try Fargo Enterprises/Micro tools.
Look under camera restoration/light baffles. You probably will need a sheet to cut the seal by the door hinge since is a little wide then a pack of the thin ones. Used to LB-1.
Scrape off all the old gunk as best you can. Get the seals with the adheasive backing also. You'll have plenty left for other cameras. Also for cutting wider seals I use a small inexpensive Fiskar paper cutter from Home Depot. Can probably get one a WalMart mabe in the stationary or school supply section. A really small jeweler type screwdriver or fine point tweezers back it easy to lay in the thin seals. Streatch thim slightly as you put them in.

Sorry for the spelling. I was in a hurry this morning. I seem to remember that model also needing wider seals along the back also. (horizontally). If you haven't tried to order yet I'll go that web site and see what they have listed now and try to provide better info. I haven't ordered the light seals in a couple of years.

Thank you again. I have ordered a light seal kit. For the price I think I will save a lot of time and frustration.
