New QL17 Owner.. tests

[bhop73]

Hi, I made a thread in the member intros forum, but since my rangefinder's a Canon, I thought i'd make an introduction here too. I got my QL17 last week and I have really been having fun with it. It's a little strange since i've never used a rangefinder before, but I love the size and feel of the camera. I've shot my test roll and it worked great, no light leaks and the exposure seems to be ok (when I don't screw it up myself), so I thought i'd share a few shots.

Nice pics! It is a great camera, to be sure.

Congratulations and welcome! Those are nice shots... looks like you got a good Q17. The picture of Clyde in the flickr set shows a little of funky bokeh (astigmatism) of the Q17 lens that can occur wide open and in certain backlighting situations. Mine does the same thing. Evidently not uncommon for this lens.

Nice stuff! I've got one, too, and I think it's great. Enjoy...

Regards!
