What are you supposed to see through a viewfinder?

[ssakoian]

I bought a very nice Canonet QL17 GIII recently. The camera is clean and works fine, but the imaging in the viewfinder for focusing is yellow. Is this what I am supposed to see with this model as I line things up?

Yes, both of mine have the yellow tinge in the focus patch.

It should be easy to line up the two images as you focus.

Thanks for the info!

Oh, I think you will like the camera. 🙂

You are a little slow on the draw. It already has been done. 🙄

I think some here like to think they see 1930-1940.

... or a decisive moment!

Fooled me too. I'd like to see a million bucks!
