Over Exposed
Hi All,
I've just purchased a Canonet QL25 through ebay. This is my first vfenture into older rangefinders.
The camera appears almost mint and I'm very pleased with it - however it needs some batteries.
Are the batteries still available? And if not, what is the modern equivalent? Does anybody have the code number or details of anyone who supplies them?
I'm assuming the shutter doesn't fire without the battries installed or have I been sold a dud?
Also can the internals of the viewfinder be cleaned easily? The view through it appears a little hazy or is this normal.
Many thanks in advance!
Bob.
