Another new Canonet owner

[malkav]

Hello everyone, I jumped on the canonet train last month with the purchase of 2 canonet 28's, followed this month by the acquisitions of a QL19, QL25, and a GIII QL17. I also have another QL25 coming, and I'm sending the payment out on monday the 13th for a QL17(older model I think from the pics). Think I have enough canonet's? 🙄 😱 LOL. The ones I have are all in real good shape w/ the exception of a dent on the corner of one of the 28's. Doesn't effect anything though. The light seals are in pretty good shape all around, and look like they'll hold-up for awhile longer, but I will be replacing them in a few months, when I get outta the doghouse for all the cameras I bought this month.😱 All are Evilbay buys. 😀

I am adding pics of the 28's, QL19, and QL25 so that you all can see them.
Thanks for looking.

I've posted this tip before - but it's an good idea to replace the light seals BEFORE they really need it. Removing the old ones is FAR easier when they unpeel in one section and saves a lot of messy cleaning.

Jon Goodman is the man for great - and cheap (ie a few dollars) - sealing kits. Search for previous threads on R.F.F or on ebay for user 'interslice'.

Great cameras. I'm carrying mine with Neopan 1600 today in my bag. 🙂
