I'm looking for a QL17 GIII in black - where?

[januaryman]

Thank you all for information that helped me decide to send Randy a small fortune (rather than the large fortune requested elsewhere) for a decent looking camera that Randy says Greyhoundman has recently CLA'd... a major point in favor of this camera. Randy has been patient with my many questions and sent pics.

It's a camera to be used, not displayed for its flawless beauty, so, I'll keep looking for a less "expreienced" looking camera for my friend and will keep this one for me!

Thanks again, all!

Jim

congrats. Enjoy it! There are other, less expensive alternatives out there for your friend. Try a Yashica GSN maybe

Good suggestion, but it won't work. I have both the GT and GTN (and the GSN) and these are not impressing my friend. The Canonet is a nice daylight shooter - no muss no fuss with nice info in the viewfinder. Strong selling points to many. I love my Yashicas, but they serve different purposes, I think. I need both! Great lenses unsurpassed by anything less than the interchangeable lens rangefinders, IMHO.

randy is a known member here and we have done business before, i would trust his gear.
but in truth, to pay over 200 bucks for a $40 camera is not something i would do.

That's the cost of being different. I personally love the look of the black ones. That's why I own a GTN and GT and I am waiting on a Professional (yashicas) I would love a Black GIII and a Black 7sII also. When the pocket book recovers.

Yeah, but I never mentioned I'd be looking to make the camera a gift. I just wanted to know what would be THE camera to have. Canonet, hands down. (shrug)
