Got me a Canonet too!

[photophorous]

I've been wondering about the Canonets for a while, and when I saw Shrackman's posts a few weeks ago it pushed me over the edge. After some careful ebay shoping, I found a QL-17 GIII that sounded too good to be true. It arrived last night, and I was surprised to find nothing wrong with it, except old gummy light seals (expected). This morning I went out and shot a roll of Fuji Superia Xtra 400. So far, I think this little thing is very cool. But, I'm not sure how accurate the meter is with the hearing aid battery I'm using. I compared it to my digital, and it seemed to be reading under what it should be, so I set the film speed at 200. Most shots look good, but there are some areas that where over exposed. I'll try it at the correct film speed next time and see which is better. Here are a few shots. Hope you like them.

PS. Thanks, Shrackman!
