The Canon Canonet QL25 is a classic rangefinder with a quiet shutter and a clever design that makes film photography easy and relaxed. You focus by lining up two images in the viewfinder, then choose your shutter speed while the camera sets the right aperture for you. Its Quick Load system makes putting in a new roll of film simple, even for complete beginners. Like its sibling, the Canonet QL17, it has a gentle, silent shutter that is perfect for street photography and candid moments. The 45mm f2.5 lens gives a natural view close to what your eyes see, with sharp details and lovely soft backgrounds.

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.
