Canon film GIII QL rangefinder sale

I am selling some of my classic film cameras.

This is the Canon GIII QL - AKA, Canonet QL17 35mm rangefinder camera with 40mm f1.7 - 5 element rare earth glass lens, 1/500 shutter. Features auto exposure shutter priority with manual over-ride.

No functional issues ( which is rare). Good shutter and rangefinder. The front lens has a 1mm chip out towards the edge and a 3mm faint spot of fungus at the very edge under the front element. Neither of these has any practical consequence ! I mention them for the sake of accuracy.

Comes with good working battery, original strap and lens cap. Also comes with a vented lens hood and 48mm Tiffen polarizing filter. I probably have a soft case here also that I will throw in.

$100 includes shipping to lower 48.

Great little shooter. Robust build. Sharp lens.

Best review I've found on this camera.... Steve Gandy's CameraQuest web site. I've owned a few. Sold my last black model of this camera about five years ago for $500.

This is a good deal as described.

Yes, I've seen this review. I also sold a black version about 3 years ago ....The ones made in Japan (early ones) are more coveted.
