Description:

The Canonet QL19 is one of those cameras that just feels right to use. It is compact, well built, and fitted with a 45mm f/1.9 lens that gives a natural field of view, very close to what your eyes see. We love it for street photography and everyday carry. The leaf shutter is remarkably quiet, one of the quietest you will find on any rangefinder, which makes it great for candid shots without drawing attention. The shutter priority mode makes exposure simple, and if you prefer full control, manual mode is always available and works even without a battery. Loading film is easy too, thanks to Canon’s Quick Loading system. A great choice for anyone who wants a capable, classic rangefinder without the price tag of the more well known QL17.

Due to the age of this camera and the nature of old light meters we can’t guarantee that the light meter still works. This isn’t an issue as the camera will function perfectly without batteries. To meter a scene before taking a picture we recommend using an external light meter or for you to take our online course that will teach you how to use a film camera without the use of any external tools.

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.
