eBay Find! Canonet QL-17.

I won a Canonet QL-17 on eBay for $20. I couldn’t beat the price. However, the camera was untested. When it arrived, the aperture blades were stuck with oil and other dirt. I got into them and swabbed them with a bit of lighter fluid and let it sit. After a few minutes, the aperture was snapping into place!
I put some expired Kodak 400 into it and let my boyfriend take a few pictures.

Although a bit blurry, this camera takes getting used to! The only other problems are that the frame counter doesn’t work and neither does the light sensor. Still, a great deal!
