$100 vs $2000 RangeFinder Film Camera

A buddy of mine in St. Augustine, FL called me and asked me if I wanted some of his grandfather's old cameras. He's sending me a box over various old film cameras and of them is a mint Canon Q17 GIII! Can't wait to try it out!

Hi! What's on top the QL 17? Thanx

Is that a digital light meter on the Canon? If it is can you link it?

Exactly as described

leica is just cringe all around, always was.

Love my ql17 g3. Amazing little camera! Pics look nearly identical! Great video

My parents owned a Leica M3, but never mastered it, so they sold it and I wasn’t happy about it, because I liked this design very much.
Since I am using a Cononet QL17 GLIII (round about since 2005), I’m very happy with its results and I’m not sure, if I really need the better optics, especially with a bigger body and more weight.

What is the light meter you using?

Please I need to know what's on the ql top? It's a light meter? Wich model? :D

Leica did just slightly better with wider field of view. But with that price Canon can do the same as Leica overall. Almost no difference tbh. Unless you're super nitpicky. Canonet for me

what is that little box on top of your Canon?

Is the focus on the Ql17 supposed to adjust when you spin the focus distance meter? I just recently got a Ql17 but it doesn't adjust when I do and I was wondering if that is normal

What's that thing on top of the canon ql17?

To honestly compare cameras fairly, I suggest using the same exact lens on two different cameras. Like using the Leica versus the Canon P with the 35mm Summicron used on each camera.

Great video man. You just saved me 2 grand

what's the name of small device on top of canonet????

Love the videos man! Subscribing now. What was on top of your canon hot shoe? Light meter?

Wouldn't want to be carrying around an expensive camera, I'd just be worried about dropping it or banging it into something. With something cheap I can just focus on the photography.

love your videos man. on the Canon - whats the little digital thing on the top
