The New Canonet Grade III series, manufactured in Japan and Taiwan from 1972 to the 1980s, was a best-selling camera with a total production of 1.2 million units. The QL19G-III (made in Taiwan) had a smaller production run, and the camera for sale appears to be the final model, as its shutter unit has dry-lube shutter blades. Included accessories are an MC Skylight Filter 1B and a hood for the Canonet Junior 45mm f/2.8. "Camera Condition" There are scratches and wear from use by a "railway photography enthusiast," but this does not affect any functions. The viewfinder has the clouding typical of this model, but the focus was readjusted after the rangefinder unit was replaced. The parallax-correcting bright frame operates normally. Some scratches, dust, and traces of mold are visible on the lens under LED illumination, but they do not affect actual photography. The exposure meter is also working, and automatic shooting is possible. X-sync has been confirmed. The self-timer also works without issue. This camera is a lower-end model of the GIII series with a 45mm f/1.9 lens, but the unpretentious lens design provides excellent image quality, as shown in the sample photos. The QL19G-III, which can be used without batteries, is, in my opinion, a full-manual camera suitable for film camera beginners. "Important Notes" * Due to the higher voltage of the substitute battery (625 alkaline 1.5V), please set the ISO sensitivity to +0.5 to +1 stop. For those who want accurate exposure settings, I recommend using a separate light meter and shooting manually. * You don't need to worry too much when shooting with negative film. You can take beautiful photos with automatic shooting. * This is a Quick Loading (QL) camera. Align the film leader with the red mark and load the film. Advance the film to counter 1 to complete winding. * Handle the opening and closing of the back cover carefully with both hands until the light seals are properly seated. "Sample Photos" Fuji Film 200 used, automatic shooting Snapshots around Yanazu Station on the Tadami Line. I included "Hollyhocks," a symbol of early summer in Aizu. This is a practical camera, so those who are particular about details should consider purchasing from a specialty store.
