Continuing my Youtube Adventures! I was sent a 2nd generation (the New Canonet Series) Canonet QL17 right before my health took a turn for a worse last spring/early summer. It arrived in remarkably good condition, still in its original box and packaging. I thought folks might enjoy unboxing it. I know I had never had the chance before myself.

Thanks for the video. Very well done. I like "NEW" written multiple times on the box!
QL17 is one of the classics.

Ah man, I thought it was sealed!
Unfortunately not that lucky! I still thought this was a fun find for under $50.

Cameras. I has it.
Nice that Canon provided a case with the camera - that’s a decent one.

It’s a pretty plasticky case, but they did put leather in the spots that count

Hey Mudman. Just got by Canonet and I was checking your Youtube video. Thanks for all the information. Really helpful!
I have a few questions that perhaps you could give me a hand as last time I got an analog camera was more than 20 years ago.
- Do you know where I can find the Manual Instruction you showed in the video? It will help me to understand how to make the exposure meter work. I tend to believe that the battery is not working as it does not move and it stays at the top.
Thanks a lot for the information.

Online manual. Note the Meter only works on Automatic, and turns off on manual exposure.
Also- the wire under the battery compartment can break off, due to corrosion- and might need repair. That was true on one of mine.

First..........make sure you are in a lit environmentHey Mudman. Just got by Canonet and I was checking your Youtube video. Thanks for all the information. Really helpful!

Second......When on "A" and the needle not moving , turn the shutter speed towards the lowest speeds
Seems obvious but just try if you haven't yet.
