For Sale: This is a Canonet QL17 GIII, 8.5/10 (EX/EX+) This camera is overall very pretty. It has a repaired filter ring-ding, shown in the close-up of the front lens. It takes filters without problem, and a 48mm filter is included. No caps.

The repaired dent is near the "inc" on the name ring.

I have used this camera with film, it works well and is one of my "cherry-picked keepers". I also have a QL17l, and decided to keep it over this one.
I just checked the meter, and the battery is good. When replacing the battery is was required to clean the contacts. Remember, that on a Canonet that turning the camera to Manual Operation, ie off of auto, turns the meter off and stops battery drain.
I popped the top and cleaned the viewfinder, replaced the seals, and flood-cleaned the shutter and self-timer. All speeds are working, and I just tested the self-timer. It is working, and tripped the shutter.
Will sell or TRADE for a Jupiter-3 in LTM. I am rounding up parts for another Zeiss conversion.
$80 shipped in the US via priority mail, $105 First Class International, $115 overseas via International Priority. Paypal, or check ($3 discount). I reserve the right to hold shipment until a check clears.
