Description

For sale here is a refurbished Canonet QL17 GIII 35mm Rangefinder film camera. It is in good working order, with the viewfinder/rangefinder cleaned and calibrated, the meter tested, and new light seals installed. The shutter has also been checked for oil buildup and cleaned. On average, I customize and refurbish 3-4 of these Canonets every month. They're arguably the best 35mm cameras available under $1,000.

**Please note:** This is a custom item. I source, CLA (Clean, Lubricate, Adjust), and reskin these cameras upon order placement, so please expect a 2-week turnaround before the item is ready to ship. I may be able to accommodate tighter deadlines, so feel to inquire!

*(Strap isn't included, but I can provide contact information for the maker!)*

This Canonet QL17 GIII is a pristine example of this remarkable camera, with attached photos demonstrating its performance. (Yes, it's thoroughly film tested!)

**Condition Report:**
The camera is in excellent working condition. The meter is accurate and functions well in shutter priority mode. I've installed new seals and thoroughly cleaned and re-calibrated the rangefinder, ensuring brightness and accuracy.

While the meter is functional, it's important to note that this camera is 100% mechanical and not reliant on batteries. The rangefinder is bright and precise, allowing for consistently sharp shots.

**ABOUT THIS CAMERA:**
I meticulously adjust, clean, and calibrate the rangefinder and light meter assemblies, service the shutter and aperture units, clean each lens element, and reassemble everything to factory specifications. After thoroughly cleaning the film back area, I replace the light seals and painstakingly peel off the old leatherette, ensuring the underlying body is cleaned before applying the new replacement leatherette. Overall, it involves several hours of high-skill labor to refurbish each of these cameras.
