Where's the best place to buy a good Canonet?

Wow... and people complain about eBay... that, I would say is a very questionable business practise... can anyone say "monopoly"?

Well after Seans suggestion that we should explore other forums I've just got my next one on the way from a really nice guy at Rangefinder Forum (RRF). A beautiful QL17 G111 to add to my growing family of Canonets ..... come to daddy my precious

Oh no, you said you wouldn't....
You're worse than me....

[TPPhotog]

Oh yes I did ......
Very probably .....

The public holidays both side of the pond have delayed things a little, but hopefully I'll be shooting with it next weekend, which just happens to be a 3 day rest weekend for me

Market shoot planned with a QL17 either way ROFLOL

Since you are already beyond hope - get a Bell & Howell Canonet 19. It is not as good a camera, optically as the QL17, but you just have to have one, if for no other reason than for its endearing "backwardsness" (backwardsaussity?) - everything is backwards - the film lever is on the bottome, the roll of film is at your right hand... and it can be used as a blunt weapon! Besides, then there is the light meter - a round cell surrounding the lens (like some of the russian RF's). Gotta have it!
